J/K, thanks Mark, great post! Very inspiring for a young guy wanting to make a name for himself.

I met you once in Pittsburgh after a Pirates game at the bar across from PNC. My buddy asked if you were in town to buy the Pirates and you said they\’re not for sale haha. I\’ve been telling everyone that you\’re a really nice guy, super down to earth.

Great article! I could not agree more with its contents. Very encouaraging ,highly motivational and exceptionally well written. However, what can be done when a great concept/idea can not be \”pitched\” to anyone because none of those approached bothered to even respond? I still believe that, as cliche, as \”being at the right place at the right time\” sounds, it still does come down to getting an idea presented to \”right people\”, or better still, getting that 10-minute opportunity to \”sell\”. How many great ideas never get developed only because no one bothered to even respond to find out what they were? So, to make a long story short, how do you find \”right people\” to \”pitch\” your idea to?

I\’ve heard it all before about how \”I am going to\”, \”I wish I had\”, \”If only I had\” or some other variation. What a shame that they never got to really experience life.

To achieve success one must look failure in the eye.

Like you though I find Mark\’s words disturbing. This isn\’t healthy. 6 hours out of everyday reserved for family is not putting family first.
