But remember, once you put the dollar, then it becomes yours.
It's your job to make it successful.
So you still have one more chance to decide if you want it or not.
I'd go for a very long walk and say, if this walked in the door right now, and there was zero effort involved, all I had to do was write the check, would I take it or not?
Yes, yes.
You spend a lot of time.
You're like, oh, my God, I'm the one getting the term sheet, and nobody else has it.
I nailed it.
I've beaten out eight VCs to it.
The question is, that's not how many VCs you beat to get the deal.
The question is, if this deal, can this deal stand its own merits, and would you invest in it if there was no competition?
The best advice that the really old man gave me on a flight once was, you know, life is simple.
If you wake up in the morning, you're really excited about going to do what you do for a living, you're blessed.
And if you're done after a long day and you're really excited to go home to your family, you're blessed.
You never know what tomorrow is going to bring you.
The only way I've been able to do everything I do is not to get too hung up on what's going to happen to me in a year from now or five years from now, because it's too far.
I think you wake up in the morning, you have an amazing day and everything's working around you.
Your kids are happy.
Your family's happy.
You enjoy what you do.
