Meet my Dad… this photo was taken last night as we celebrated 92 years of life! And what a life it has been! He has been a successful entrepreneur since he was 12 years old. Through his life of struggles and success he taught me so much about life's Journey.
He still drives himself to his office a couple of hours a day where, on the computer, he looks at sales figures, sales per sales person, inventory levels, purchase orders, deliveries, inventory turns, expenditures, and so on. My brothers now run the business he ultimately built… "one day, one step at a time" He used to tell me daily.(and still does)
At 5 years old, he began taking me to work with him. I loved going! I now see, in retrospect, this is where my most important lessons about life and career began. Without his lessons of success and failure, I would likely not be here with you today.
