Well, I've, I've always known that I wanted to be in business since I was 20 years old, and I've, uh, I've tried a lot of things.

Of course, you know, as you know, there's not much education when it comes to business in our public school systems, and I had to learn it by the school of hard knocks, as they say, and I've certainly made a lot of mistakes.

You know, it's one of those things that said, "God, if I knew, knew then what I know now about business, I could have probably been, uh, 10 times more successful." Uh, that's for sure, but that's not the way life works.

So I've come to the point in my life, and a lot of people are ask wh- why, why do I go to all this trouble of trying to educate people? And, and, uh, I've come to the point where my life where I believe at the end of your days, it's not what you've amassed, it's not what you've done yourself.

And so that's my mission, but I prefer to do it in the business world and the business education field because I feel that's really an underserved community, and it's really one of the greatest needs that we need in this country because there's such, such a large percentage of entrepreneurs that fail every year.

And, uh, if I can even help just one not fail by providing them the knowledge they need to do to build their business on a solid foundation, then I've succeeded.
