It's never one thing it's a lot of things because you learn that show business is one of the most complicated industries in the world. The agreement you make is based on you not knowing what's going to happen next. So, it's a guessing game and you've got to really believe in yourself and know who you are.

American Businessman
My parents had no money, but they had strong values that I've carried throughout my life - things like not going into debt, never borrowing money, never leveraging, paying your bills on time, keeping your agreements, selling customers the right things, treating employees right, and growing things.
