Wir brauchen viel mehr Zeit, um wirklich in diesen Bereich hineinzukommen. Aber, du weißt, auf einem Top-Line-Level. Wenn du nicht wirklich auf das Projekt fasziniert bist, wird es nicht funktionieren. Das ist für Ansteller. Also musst du wirklich glauben, was du tust. Du musst wirklich die Leute genießen, mit denen du arbeitest, weil es einige wirklich stressvolle Zeiten geben kann.

Und wir hatten viele. Ich meine, wir waren kurz vor der Ausbildung, ein paar Male zuvor. Und das ist wirklich, wirklich erstaunlich, wenn du all die Arbeit siehst, die du gemacht hast und du denkst, oh mein Gott, es war aus unserer Kontrolle und etwas ist passiert und du bist fast aus der Ausbildung. So, one of the things that my partner, that Tom and I are really, really good at, is pivoting.

So, I think where most people get into trouble is they get fixated on a concept. And they say, here's my concept. It's a widget. It's a gadget. Whatever it is. I have a new idea for a widget. Here's my widget. And they keep running into issues, but they don't modify. And at the end, it doesn't work. And they say, well, you know, the market just was against me. Something just didn't happen.

Versus if they had a widget and the market said, you know what, if you make gadgets, we'd be interested in gadgets. We're not interested in widgets right now. You go, great, you know what, I was going to make gadgets, now I'm making gadgets. Listen, now I'm going to contradict myself.

So I'm going to say, listen to the marketplace, because if you don't have something in the marketplace that's going to adapt, you're not going to go anywhere. I don't care how much you believe or how passionate you are about the project. Having said that, As you are building it, you need to make sure you are maintaining your vision on what you think this is going to be.

Because if you allow too many forces to come at you, you're going to dilute the product and it's not going to be, my guess is, it's not going to be what you were hoping it was going to be.

You don't tell the market what to do. So when we launched Thinkorswim, it was right after the dotcom bubble. And I remember how many people said to us, oh my god, we feel so badly for you. Couldn't be a worse time to launch a brokerage firm. And my partner and I just looked at each other like, what are you going to do? This is the cards we got dealt. These are our cards. You got to play them.

Turned out to be an amazing time because what we quickly realized was people, that had accounts that other firms were looking for alternatives because they had issues with their existing firm. When the market's going straight up and everybody's making money, why are you ever going to change? You're like, I love where I'm trading, I'm making money, what do I need to go look at something new for?
