I Was An Economics Major In College,

A Real Entrepreneur Is Somebody Who Has No Safety Net Underneath Them.

In The Large Buy Out Space, Which Is Where We (kohlberg Kravis Roberts) Focus Our Efforts, There Are Relatively Few Firms With The Capital, Experience, Infrastructure And Networks To Compete Effectively With The Large Complex Companies That We Seek To Acquire.

But Once You Buy A Company, You Are Married. You Are Married To That Company.

And Make Sure That Capital Structure We Have In Place Is The Right Capital Structure. I Think That's The Reason That We've Been Successful.

As I Said There Is Nothing Wrong With Failing. Pick Yourself Up And Try It Again. You Never Are Going To Know How Good You Really Are Until You Go Out And Face Failure.
