WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
Harry’s Bio
I am a small entrepreneur; I have been my whole life. From shovelling driveways and starting newspaper routes, to selling pots and pans door-to-door, I have always been driven to create my own thing.
I graduated from high school and started working full time at 18. I’ve done all my education part-time and found the lack of information to be an asset, not a liability. Today I would argue that information overload is creating a significant state of inertia in all walks of life. Frankly, if I had known what I was getting myself into half of the time I probably would have turned and ran the other way. But when failing isn’t an option you reach down; you demand more of yourself, somehow making it work. Thankfully I did, and still do.
Most importantly, I’ve been helped and given great advice over the course of the journey from too many people to mention. I’ve learned from their wisdom and avoided some pain because they went first, and for that I am forever grateful. The purpose of this site is to encourage you, and to let you know that things aren’t always how they appear. The only thing separating you from anyone else that you may admire, is: a decision, some risk, some time, and perseverance. Know that everything you want in this lifetime is just as much in your reach.
At a very early age I was told not to take it all too seriously, smell the roses, love, laugh and always put things in perspective. I encourage you to adopt the same philosophy. Go for it, and just one more thing…
attitude is still everything!
