"Start to think about some of those other investments that are presenting themselves. And don't wait for the one that's the grand slam home run, because you want to know how people hit grand slam home run? They hit base hits first." - Jared Kelley
"Make a decision. Don’t watch the pitch go by. Take the opportunity and run with it. If you happen to hit a foul ball or you do strike out swinging, that's your best learning that you could possibly have because I promise you won't do it again.
