When Entrepreneurs Think They Have the Golden Touch

The Wall Street Journal asked Evan and a few other advisors how they deal with risk taking entrepreneurs.  Read the article to learn more :)

[evankirkpatrick-blog]

Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency. Remember that our sons and grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us. Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty. Think big.
