CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
Coming from corporate life to a start-up was challenging because you don’t have an entire team to support you like we did at the corporations. Not having internal resources to deal with the legal issues and every other aspect was challenging.
It has been a challenge to find the right investors for our business. I made the mistake of not finding out what the investors expected from us. We should have taken a little bit longer to make sure they understood what we were doing and what they could expect from us. We took too much for granted in getting our first investors.
FIRST SPECIAL VEHICLE
Honda Element
Fiat 128 Sport
BEST AUTOMOTIVE ADVICE
Stay awake while you drive.
Never just focus on what you see in front of you. Focus on one, two and three turns ahead.
