I was just about to celebrate my 60th birthday and, as one does at that point in life, I was being retrospective. I looked back over my childhood, my family life, my many successful business enterprises, and a few miserable failures, my wonderful job experiences including executive positions in some important, and very large, corporations, and all the help I had been able to give to others over those many years.
It smacked me upside the face… I suddenly knew what I wanted to be when I grew up! As any experienced business person does, I began working on a business plan and came up with an honest mission statement: “To give as much value as I can to as many as I can as often as I can for as long as I can!”
