Favorite quote -
"Some entrepreneurs just have problems working for other people. They have more confidence in their own judgment than that of others, and bristle at authority. They have reached a point in their life where they want to be the beneficiary of their own hard work, which is understandable. Entrepreneurship can become a way of life. "My theory is that entrepreneurs are unemployable."
