I just kind of dive in if I think I can create something that will make a difference and then try to get the numbers to stack up after the event. So most of the things I've done I would not have done if I'd have asked the accountants to look at them before.

Confidence breeds confidence and negativity breeds negativity. Treat those around you with respect and dignity and they will thrive.
