“You’ll need lots of fortitude to make your business a success. You need to be strong-willed, bloody persistent, stay true to your vision, have enough capital for several years until you can achieve profitability, a passion in what you are doing, and a large target market for your products and services. Plus a very understanding partner and family!”
