There is plenty of blight, poor, homeless people and crime in America my friend. Let no one tell you different. I grew up very poor, we had a dad but he struggled with jobs which did not pay enough to feed six (6) kids. When I was 10 years old I cut grass on weekends to help my mother buy milk and eggs. By 17 I had a full time job, a ’55 Chevy 2dr car and an apartment of my own in Vallejo. Hard work, dedication and a Christian faith was my cornerstone mantra.
An entrepreneur has been described as a person who organizes and manages any enterprise, especially a business, usually with considerable initiative and risk. The master entrepreneur is one who has had good success in business after taking risk, then teaches or imparts this life-changing knowledge to another person. In the end it is about the business of making money.
Over time with the love and support of my wife Emily I have become a master at many things, like the several years I spent at becoming a certified master auto mechanic in California. I was factory-trained through an apprentice program at Tiffany Buick in Vallejo (now gone), working under a master mechanic. After many years of hard work and specialized schooling, then finally I passed all the required tests to become an ASE Certified Master auto mechanic myself. Meanwhile I tried various business interests.
