Thoughts on Entrepreneurship:

“‘Entrepreneurship is the foundation of the American business world. It allows free enterprise to flourish and integrity, persistence and hard work to prosper. An entrepreneurial vision is one that recognizes that servicing the customer, being surrounded by individuals that share a common goal, and keeping family the top priority will be the path that leads to success in life – not just business.”
