decades, I’d thought that man would be my father. When I was 25, I met that man and he was my
brother," she wrote.
•“I was worth over $ 1,000,000 when I was 23, and over $ 10,000,000 when I was 24,
and over $ 100,000,000 when I was 25, and it wasn’t that important because I never
did it for money”.
•“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help
me make the big choices in life before it’s too late”.
As a conclusion:
• Being an entrepreneurs has to do with both nature

• There’s no doubt that their DNA’s may contain some
information about being so astute.
• Being trained is what helps them build up their
abilities.
