One of the things I know about my family, my generation, and my ethic background is that we put in work and I'm not just talking about just to eat. You have to think about the civil rights movement, they were putting in work; marching, walking miles and miles, sacrificing, getting on the bus, feeding one another, they had schools, voter registration, they were working! They were hard workers so my advice is to work.

No one fails alone and no one succeeds alone.

Hard and impossible are two different things!

Stop looking for permission to pursue your dreams! They are YOUR dreams and you don't need a co-signer to chase them!

So that's the biggest lessonsI've learned it is your dream, you do not need a business loan, you do not need the support of others, you need to do what you need to do and when you become, what do I want to call the word, like legitimate, when people see that you are real, then people will support you, but you can't ask them to take a risk on you.

All roads that lead to success have to pass through hard work boulevard at some point.

This is your moment! Seize the opportunity to be great!
