- “like most entrepreneurs of course it was always in the back of my mind will I be busy enough? I never really worried about losing it all because I didn’t have anything to lose and I came from nothing. So that was one advantage. I didn’t really think I would lose anything”
- “you have got to lead by example. If you want people around you to work hard and you want people to be in a nice friendly cooperative environment well then you have got to be that way yourself. You know what they said the fish stinks from the head down… If you want people to do some extra training, why don’t you learn more about leadership? Well what are you doing yourself? You have to look yourself in the mirror first. And don’t just talk do the walk yourself”
