4. It's Never Too Late to be an Entrepreneur

I found out I was wrong, again. I believed people knew early in life that they were going to create something from scratch and do their own thing. All of the entrepreneurs I talked to over the years confirmed this. Then I met Frank, and he proved me wrong. After 25 years of working for others, he became an entrepreneur. Frank became an entrepreneur at the encouragement of his clients and suppliers.

This is a great conversation filled with lessons and insights that just might change your life.
