Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Society in general:
People consistently expressed concern for the entrepreneurial path and the ups and downs that are just inevitable from being your own boss and running your own business. I was warned by people who loved me -- and I totally ignored them.
How I responded:
Never believe anything anyone tells you that doesn't empower you.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
We've been around for 17 years; we've endured the worst financial crisis for decades. The reality is that we still live in the best country in the world, full of incredible opportunity. If you embrace that and work hard, anything is possible.
