Ep. 85 - Perseverance Fuels Business Success

Starting a business or any new venture is the easy part. Making it a success is the hard part. Because rarely do all plans succeed the way you initially draw it up. As Mike Tyson famously said, “a plan is great until you get punched in the mouth.” So, what’s the key to success? Perseverance is one characteristic all successful people need.

Hear his story from surviving childbirth and a rare childhood disease to reaching the top levels of race car driving.
