And it wasn't until I left home on my own that I had to begin to show confidence if I wanted to survive. So as I struggled, I met my wife Linda who helped to see how successful I could be and so it was because of her that I started my own janitorial business. I invested ten thousand dollars in an already existing business that I purchased from a friend and from there on I realized that building it on my own was the only way. Because it was built on the character of someone else and not mine I lost most of my accounts within months. I began to realize that to continue I had to develop a strong, reliable, and hard working character. I was always a watcher and listener and this helped me to move ahead. After my 1st.

So for me success was being friendly, reliable, a listener and a hard worker. I had a six figure income and employed up to six people.view less
