Kevin O'Leary on entrepreneur sacrifices & relationships

[pixelo]

We all want to be wealthy in order to afford working only a couple hours a week and take a couple months off per year, but how many really end up doing that?

I'd say that most people don't want that who are serious/likely to succeed in getting rich, no one gets wealthy by wanting to work 2 hours per week.

O'Leary aka the Canadian Donald Trump LOL

What a character!

Food for thought: he links financial success to freedom, but is he really free now? To me it looks like he works harder today than ever before. He's all over the place: ABC (1 show), CBC (3 shows), running his business, investing, doing conferences here and there...

We all want to be wealthy in order to afford working only a couple hours a week and take a couple months off per year, but how many really end up doing that?

But he has the option to stop doing that if he wants. Thats freedom.

Check out the altercation between O'Leary and Herjavec at the end of the video. That pretty much sums up Kevin O'Leary's mentality. lol

Guy's got a point but if the chick stayed I'd be worried about her walking away with half in 3 1/2 years. I'd just tell her to bugger off.

Pre-nup!

Pre-nup!

Isn't worth shit after she pops out the first kid.

Unless you find a girl who will complement your efforts, play finance defense at home, and do what you dont have time for. Most millionaires in America are married, have kids, and run businesses. An opinion of an asshole doesn't make it right or wrong. So dont read into it like a dictionary.

It's not about no marriage, more of choosing an understanding partner :1bluewinky:

From American Gangster:

"Success, it's got enemies, Frank. Lots of enemies.
So your success took a shot at you. What are you gonna do now?
How you gonna kill it? You're gonna become unsuccessful?
Frank, we can be successful and have enemies, right?
Or we can be unsuccessful, too, you know, we can have friends.
That's the choice we make."

In other words,

Kevin O'Leary is a boss!
