You Only Have One Thing To Sell

If You Have Something At Risk, You Think Differently.

I Thought At The Time That I Wanted To Go Into Institutional Sales, Selling Stocks And Bonds To Institutions. In Those Days, Which Was The 1960s, The Institutional Salesman Was Making About $100,000 A Year. I Thought That Was Just An Enormous Amount Of Money.

I Have, In My Partner George Roberts, A Person Who Is The Most Wonderful Man In The World To Me. He's Like A Brother To Me. Creating With Him, Being Side By Side With Him, In Whatever We Try To Do, Is A Real Pleasure To Me.

As I Said There Is Nothing Wrong With Failing. Pick Yourself Up And Try It Again. You Never Are Going To Know How Good You Really Are Until You Go Out And Face Failure.
