I never had a job. I bought my first house within a year of getting out of school, and I built a custom one four and a half years later. The Art Center didn't teach much about business, but I learned a lot from the Fortune 500 companies that were my clients. ↗

If they would teach us from the time we're little to meditate and get in touch with all that our souls know, we wouldn't fight so much. ↗
