Every single deal, whether you've done one deal, or 100 deals. You're going to make the most mistakes on the first one. And those mistakes are going to be magnified. So if you completely fail, you want to fail on a small 10 unit deal where you may have had one or two investors, or do you want to fail on a $10 million deal, where you may have had 50 investors? I want to fail on the small one, because who is my investor on my first deal? Your family, your friends, and they're going to be a lot more forgiving. If you fail on that big $10 million deal, a lot of those people don't know you that well. And they're not going to be that forgiving. And it will probably be the last deal you ever do.\u201d - Jim Briggs
