Why do you think people are hesitant to confront what's changing?
3:47
Well, I'll tell you what, uh, um, sorry.
3:55
Um, well, I'll tell you what I believe.
3:59
I believe fear is natural.

How did you become an entrepreneur? And what helped you become a millionaire by the age of 40?
2:02
I get that question a lot.
2:04
And I became an entrepreneur at a very young age.

Interestingly enough, when I was 10 years old, I preface that by saying I grew up in a very poor household.
2:20
And one of the things I wanted very badly when I was 10 was to get a new bike.

And I realized rather quickly that if I wanted something, I was going to have to pursue it and achieve it myself.

So I came up with the idea of selling chewing gum.

Okay.

And I can tell you that I worried so much as a youth about making sure we had- Wow ... a roof over our head, that at- Yeah ...

the age of 10, I started selling chewing gum in my neighborhood.
6:18
I would buy it- Oh ... for five cents.
6:20
I would sell it for 10.
