As much as you need a strong personality to build a business from scratch, you also must understand the art of delegation. I have to be good at helping people run the individual businesses, and I have to be willing to step back. The company must be set up so it can continue without me.

Money is for making things happen.

I think great businessmen are more likely made than born. I don't know if it's from your upbringing, your parental background, the struggles you go through.

So I think just getting out there, hands on, learning to survive teaches you a lot.

What is a business? It's simply an idea that makes someone else's life better
