It takes hard work, dedication and sometimes good old fashion luck to build a strong, profitable business. One of the best pieces of advice for entrepreneurs and emerging business owners is to get smart insights from people who have been there before.

The best advice I ever received was from a Mentor. He told me to “Never forget where I came from, and remain true to myself”
What do you wish you knew when you started your business?
I wish I had a better handle on how to market my firm from day one. Eventually I got much better at marketing my firm.
What’s your best time management hack?
My best time management trick is to keep a calendar, and allow it to help me manage my time efficiently.
