Bob and Greg (the "Why Guys") asked me to write an upbeat blog about successful entrepreneurs.

"The reality is a lot of people have good ideas. But people are afraid to lose, and one of the main characteristics of practicing entrepreneurship is to be unafraid of losing. If you are afraid of losing you will never attack something. It's good to have a risk-taking mentality. Even if I do lose I am not frightened to get up and try again." -Sheldon Adelson, billionaire.
