I've come to learn that my initial investment is more about the person versus the product that I am buying into. I've also learned that I really do enjoy giving worthy people an opportunity of a lifetime.

As an entrepreneur, you love your business like a child, and you're taught to be laser-focused on the business.

Try to make all the mistakes with your own money and on a small level so that when you are responsible for a partner's money or assets you've learned and you don't make bigger mistakes. Try to go as far as you can without anybody else's help first.

My mother said, "Money is a great slave but a horrible master." It was her version of a French proverb.

Success is waking up every day and doing what you want to do

Always dress to what is accurate to who and what you are.

You don't have to work for a big corporation if you don't want to.
