A founder explains why aiming high matters: his high school math teacher told him to aim for the moon, so even if you fall short, you land among the stars. He built his business to create something massive, not just sustain a family for a few years.
Yes. You have to have a crazy idea. You have to have a vision. And that maybe comes from my background, but I used to have a math teacher in my high school who would say to me, if you want to reach the star, you have to aim for the moon. And this has been something that has guided me in my life. I mean, I never start something thinking I want to graduate with a 4.0 GPA. And I may reach 3.5, but I still aim the 4.0. So with the business, we had that vision. We didn't want to create something that will simply sustain our family for a few years, but we never really thought small. I have to be honest with you.
