I do today what people won't, so I achieve tomorrow what other people can't.

When you succeed you have a million people to thank, but when you fail there is only one person to blame.

Fortunately, right now 'entrepreneurship' is one of the business world's biggest buzz words and so many young people in our country are looking up to this new generation of CEO's as their modern day rock stars.

I'm a firm believer in utilizing celebrities because they tap into people on an emotional basis.
