Business advice: “In order to be successful in our industry, you must find the segment that you have a passion for and then go for it, stick with it and become an industry segment expert. You must have the determination to see yourself through the first few years — they can be extremely frustrating, humiliating, filled with doubting yourself and your decision to do this, day after day. Find good mentors and know that if you apply yourself, you can be successful in this business.
