Business Success ?

There are many different opinions now days on what is considered business
success. After spending my last 28 years and 8 Companies later, I understood
that who you are as a person, defines how you live your life and treat people is success.
Now you are probably saying what does that have to do with business. ? Well every thing,
your character, morals and lifestyle could be a blessing to you or a curse ? How you carry your self, the friends you associate with and attitude can get you that big deal or no deal. I have had plenty
of opportunities financially in business to make my self more wealthy, but i turn those down because i refuse to sell my rights all these years . I still own 28 years of copyrights and publishing but my point is all money is not good money and in the entertainment business most money offered is not good money but  each to there own ? When you start a business its smart to start with the 101 class on a 5 year business plan, product or service, market ability, self- finance, taxes ( important ) copyrights ( important ) and access to a lawyer on retainer. Before the internet, I started all my businesses from gorilla marketing and selling my products on street corners,swap meets and consignments with local retailers and to this day I still do , even though i was blessed to be retired financially. No please its not about me, it never was, its about my personal faith and calling to do what I was born to do regardless about peoples opinions or perceptions.!
