ON ENTREPRENUERSHIP
My first entrepreneur job was on the fish bank with
my father when I was about 6 or 7 years old. He
gave me the fishing sinkers that he hand made and
told me to sell them to the other fishermen…and
women for a dime a piece, but I sold them for a
quarter. I don't know if that was by accident or on
PURPOSE.
Later on in life I always had the drive to do more
than I was told I could do, so deciding to become
an entrepreneur was inevitable.
