Is there any one person or event in your life that led you to go into business for yourself?

One of my mentors growing up was Ralph Petey Greene (The Movie Talk To Me), he selected me as his guest host on his radio show and television show in Washington D.C.and encouraged me to always own your own business. My first business was producing frozen kool aid in paper cups and selling orders to construction sites in the District of Columbia and nearby Prince Georges County Md. Also at age 14, I owned a Fashion Catalogue Franchise Business, where I won every award the company had offered including the President's Award.
