The true motivation for becoming an entrepreneur in the first place: the overwhelming, often obsessive desire to bring a vision to life.

I’m Croatian. It’s a very melodramatic story, I came to Canada when I was eight years old, literally on a boat. My grandmother raised me on a farm where we had dirt floors and horses and everything. And I didn’t realize I was poor and when we landed in Canada I got of the boat and I said ‘Wow, we’re really poor.’

[On selling his first company for a $100 million dollars.] It’s a lot of zero’s.
Robert Herjavec
[On ‘overnight success’ and how long it took him to build up his company where he was able to sell it for $100 million.] It took me nine years to get to that first one. It’s funny I sold the next business for $230 million and it only took me 16 months. So I made more money in the next 16 months than I did in the ten years before.

I think everybody wants to take care of the ones they love. I think everybody wants to make more money. Everyone wants to take care of their family. I think people are afraid. I think fear holds people back. I meet a lot of people who say, ‘Oh money’s not important to me.’ And I say ‘That is absolute crap. I remember when my mum and dad didn’t have enough money to put food on the table. Today we fly around the world in a private jet. My kids will never be hungry. How is that not better?’

I’m the same passionate, fun loving, motivated guy as before. It was never about the money for me, it was about being successful. I think as an immigrant you always have a chip on your shoulder. You always want to prove yourself. And I think making some money validated my existence for me.
Robert Herjavec
[On having said ‘There’s no magic in success.’] There’s no magic.

Hard work.
Robert Herjavec
I think it’s hard work and working smart. I mean I know a lot of people who worked hard and never made any money. My dad was a blue collar factory guy who worked his butt off and never made any money. So I think you’ve got to work hard, but you have to work smart.
