A long the way many people will say your crazy, that idea will never work. Look them in the eye and realize that they have no dreams and want to ruin yours. Never let this happen, no matter how many time you fail, no matter how many setback you have, never, never give up. In every failure there is a lesson to learn, that put you one step closer to success.

The likes of Ford, Edison, Carnegie, and Bell all had setback, but by never giving up they became legends for their innovation that revolutionize society.
Now you might think that it was easier to invent the car, telephone, light bulb, at the beginning of the industrial revolution. Think ahead to the likes of Steve Jobs of Apple, Bill Gates of Microsoft, Michael Dell of the Dell Computers , Larry Page and Sergey Brin founder of Google, Jim Casey founder of UPS, Rollin King and Herb Kelleher of Southwest Airline,Sam Walton of Walmart. Each one had a vision, all started out with just a dream, a burning desire that led to innovation in modern society.

The first time I went into business I failed. I made excuses, its the economy, its the competition, its the location, its everything but the truth and the truth was that was my attitude sucks.
