Shawn Nelson, Founder of LoveSac — I wouldn’t have skimped on money, under-paying, only to get some people who are learning on the job—ultimately, that is more expensive than a pro’s high salary.

Bill Aho, CEO of ClearPlay — I wouldn’t have worked so hard. I know that sounds crazy, but after two years of working around-the-clock almost without noticing I lost sight of some of the things that were most important in my life—relationships, service, health, balance.
