How far are you really willing to go to make your vision work?

Why I sold my Ferrari and a one-of-one Porsche 911 Turbo S. What most people misunderstand about successful startups. What Elon Musk risked after selling PayPal. Why raising capital at the wrong time can cost you millions in valuation.
