Who is Barry?

He worked for one of the largest companies in the world.
He has been fired more than once.
He started three businesses.
He sold his last business, but also went out of business AND was kicked out of his business (luckily, not in that order).
He has hired hundreds of people and unfortunately, had to fire some of them.

Quotes I Learned That Are True To Me:

"Love everyone, trust a few, and paddle your own canoe."
"Every exit is an entrance somewhere else."
"Start from where you are."

What I Learned Practically:

Business is always about people.
Success can seem like a near death experience.
Focus, Focus, Focus.
Be humble.
Watch your cash flow.
