One day I walked around the Executive Mews complex in Cherry Hill, NJ where I had a small office and saw the empty pad for a new, much-larger building to be constructed. After sleeping on it, I went to see the landlord, signed a 5-year lease — even added the features I thought I would need when I succeeded.

Bet on yourself — it’s a sure thing.
