By Adam Toren

Everybody Goes Through An Incredibly Difficult Time In A Start-Up. If You Don’t Have The ‘Stick-To-It-Iveness,’ Then You’re Not Cut Out For That.

That’s realistic and tough advice from Dragon Den’s opinionated investor Kevin O’Leary. In business, he has gained the reputation for telling it the way it is, even if it comes across as offensive. There’s no sugar coated, inspiring words of wisdom from this successful investor. “The path to wealth is paved with pain and grief and one closed door after another. I think it’s very, very important that life deal a reality check every day. To give false hope to a stupid idea is a crime. You need to say, ‘That’s a horrible idea. I forbid you to go on. Don’t ever think about it again. Go on to something else.’ ”
