“It doesn't really matter what business you do and what your strategies are. At the end of the day, the thoughts, the beliefs, the emotions you have, they determine so much about your success and things like that. Instead of just focusing on the knowledge, the technical aspects, they are important, but they're not as important.” — Ketan Patel [0:10:12]
