What is Entrepreneur of Impact?
Learn MoreThis may sound cliche but my wife is my inspiration. We are both in our late 60's, and I just want to make sure that she is taken care of after I am gone. Secondly, when I got out of college, I sold cars,and Rudy Harlow, the man who taught me how to sell cars. The lessons he passed on to me have stayed with me till this day.
How do you stay motivated?I have a saying that I say every day,' Every day above ground is a good day. The fact that I am here motivates me to never take one minute for granted, so I try to give a hundred percent every day.
What would you do with the $25,000?Invest it in my business. You do have to spend money to make money. My wife and I have a roof over our heads, food in our stomachs, and we have our health. So it would never occur to me to spend frivolously.
