Over the years, I have created close friendships with many successful men, many of whom I have made a lot of money for through deals that I brought to them or business counsel that I have provided.

A lot of people who own a business aren't entrepreneurial at all.

One irreducible residual of 38 years in the business is the number of lasting, loving friendships I have made.

Many businesses fail because the owner wasn't willing to invest and wasn't educated on the difference between spending money frivolously and investing money into the business for growth, and the risks and rewards of that cash infusion.

I made so many mistakes in my first successful business I'm almost embarrassed to recount them.
