I see that students focus too much on the product and not enough how to sell it. Sales skills is the number-one thing. The second thing is the vision. You can be in any country and start something, and bring it global. —Jaak Roosare

Learn where you're going to put your money first before you invest your money there. —Jaak Roosaare
