Issue #12

Brian Busick's success in business is extraordinary. He certainly has a mind for developoing businesses and the discipline to move on when it is time. His story is very inspiring and certainly makes me want to start company tomorrow. However, if you really appreciate all the work that he does you will acknowledge that it is not that easy. He mentions in the article he worked from 6 am-11pm most days. Even the story of how he put himself through college is impressive. In my mind I have this concept of an entrepreneur that achieves instant success without breaking a sweat. That's not true at all. There are significant risks and lots and lots of hard work that go into developing a business from startup. I'm sure he had a grasp of the numbers behind a business. He had a degree in finance so he understand the implication of fixed overhead and the ratio to income. Having the skill set to understand the implications of financial decisions was vital to his success.
