GREATEST LESSON(S) IN BUSINESS:
Hard work pays off. There are no short cuts in business, if you cut corners you get found out. Things do not happen overnight, the seeds you plant today bloom in the future. All of these “overnight success stories” that we hear in the media are a long time in the making.
