INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE
When you see, is there vision? When you hear, do you listen? When you speak, is there wisdom?
CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
I’ve had so many bumps in the road. In 2009, to be honest, I took a bath. Like so many others, it was a struggle. I had invested some money in another company, and that investment was lost in the recession. Had I not made that investment I probably would have been ok. You have to dig yourself out of these tough situations and never give up.
