I know several well. The ones I know that started with little and made it are super interesting. They never stop working, thinking.
When we asked one "What are you doing these days?" He said, "My wife and I went out for a burger and a movie. We could always get the burger but never the movie. So, I am making movies now targeted to people who don't want a lot of sex, violence, or bad language in their movies."
I love the way they can take apart issues, figure out what's important and then put together a plan of action to attack it. They all understand failure and aren't afraid of it. The ones I know are also incredibly charitable. Not just buy someone dinner charitable, but endow a museum or hospital charitable. The Democrats attack them but they aren't actually attacking them. They don't like the ones that aren't giving money to them.
One I knew Marc Rubin is from CA and you might be familiar with him. He built the Inland Empire. Survived the Holocaust. Came to the US with nothing. Told me he doesn't use attorneys because if I can't trust you, why would I do a deal with you? He has passed away but was a kind and gentle spirit. His wife is one of the most wonderful women you'd ever want to meet, and so are his children. I saw her last November.
I met Richard Duchossois and we became friends in his 90s. The very first time I met him for lunch, at the end of the lunch I asked him if I could be his coffee boy for two weeks. He said, "Why would you want to do that?" I said, "I have learned so much just sitting here having lunch with you that I can't imagine what I would learn in two weeks learning from you." He was truly a special man.
Trading is not a great way to be a billionaire. Building a business is.
I won't ever be a billionaire because I didn't take the right risks early and didn't prepare myself the way I needed to prepare myself to be one. I also won't be because I don't have the drive right now to do it.
Stuck the landing. Great job!

Success is in the eye of the beholder. 😀
That actually would’ve been a better title :-)
We gotta hear more about this business in the interior design industry!
