And what I remember about that experience, I wasn't thinking about the money at all. We were competing with many companies around the world, and we were winning, and we were crushing it. So I woke up one day when the deal had closed, and I realized I'm rich.

It was never the goal. If you're only in it for the money, you'll never succeed because it's not about pursuing money; it's pursuing success as an entrepreneur by all the metrics. That is whether it be market share, profitability, growing your company, and then one day you get this incredible reward over a 24-hour period where you're free for the rest of your life.

I can afford to do anything I want today, and I choose to work harder than I ever have because I really enjoy this journey. If you are pursuing wealth from the perspective of greed, you will fail over and over again. The only way you'll be successful is the myopic focus on the success of your primary mandate, whatever that business is.

And then one day, you wake up and say, "Wow, I'm filthy rich."
