Key to success?
“The key to success is that there is no KEY ” ––My Mentor (get yourself a good mentor - not a good speaker! Entrepreneurship not show-business )
You have to create a path that is distinctively yours and write your own story. Just make sure that your story is
worth watching one day… and If you desire for success greatly, there is one vital rule that commands your
respect: never ever lie to yourself.
