The other house sold, so I was sitting on a pile of cash, put it into an investment, woke up one Monday morning, and my entire life savings was gone. And it was devastating. Eleven years later, I had a 17 million dollar company with more than 50 percent profit, 30 employees. And life was very, very different.

Everything that negative happened, I took ownership of. Everything positive happened, I took ownership of. I didn't trust other people to make me money anymore.
