I bought my first mini bike (Z50) with money I saved at the age of 10, and purchased my first motocross bike at 12 yrs old with money earned from working on a friends farm in the summers.
I remember those years very well and the values and lessons learned in knowing it took hard work to get what I wanted were forged at a very young age. Today I operate a successful company that I started 6 years ago, and have never looked back. I have prospered in tough times, have always turned black ink, and 2011 will go down with record sales that will be tough to duplicate. Why you may ask? Because I work hard for what I want, and I know that success is ALWAYS parked right around the corner.
Hard work and perseverance are what drive me to be successful. I know I can succeed in being whatever I want to be. I am well on my way to being there!
No, I'm not what I would call a millionaire, but I have net worth, great friends, and an income that supports my growing family (and my car hobby). I'm all good!

great thought! You don't have to answer, but if you don't mind what does your company do? I'm always interested in what types of businesses are prospering in today's economy.
