If you have a gun pointed to your head today, would you have done more? If the answer is yes, that means you're not doing a good job. There's nothing wrong with wanting work work-life balance. But I think the only way to build a generational company is like very, very strong work ethic. I I I I just don't see any other way to do it.

Excuses don't matter. If you're a leader of an area in the company, excuses don't matter. If you succeed, you get all the praise. If you fail, you get all the blame. It does not matter why you failed.

We increase our revenue 10x every year since inception. The first year was 2 million pounds, second year was 20 pounds, and then this year we're going to end at over 200 pounds.

Alan Chang.
