in control ofhis life.
The good thing about having a rich dad who made his fortune in the B
and I quadrants was that my rich dad guided me mentally and emotionally
from the E and S quadrants to the B and I quadrants - the same way
Donald's dad guided him. While there were several failures along the way,
it was my rich dad'swisdom and mentorship that got me through the rough
spots.

I Love Being An Entrepreneur

Even though it was a tough road at the start, today I love being an
entrepreneur. I love starting new businesses.I love the creativity, the people
I meet, the challenges and the rewards. The price for gaining the education
and the experience was high, yet in retrospect, the journey was worth it.
I did not go back to sailing tankers or flying planes because most ofthe
excitement of learning those professions was over for me. It was most
exciting when I first took the wheel ofan oil tanker and when I landed my
first plane. Once I mastered those tasks, the learning curve got easier - and
eventually ended. As an airline pilot or a ship's officer, today would be too
much like tomorrow.
I love the new challenges I go through every day as an entrepreneur. I
love the excitement of the startup and then the development. Once the
businessisup and running, I love the challenge ofthe expansion and growth.
Once the business is growing, I love the challenge ofbringing on new team
members to add stability and grow the business,which makes the business
predictable and profitable.
As an entrepreneur, every day is exciting, new and educational. I am
always learning something new, even on bad days. Donald says the same
thing, which iswhy he has so many business projects going on. He is a true
entrepreneur. To be a true entrepreneur, you need to be smart and love to
learn. If you do not love learning, chances are your business will not grow ...
because you are not growing. Whenever I find a business that is declining or
stagnant, it is often because the owner is declining or stagnant.
