What is the biggest challenge you faced in Life?

Excluding yours, what Telecom company or Telecom business do you admire the most?
None that come to mind. I think the industry is really lacking in companies that understand and practice the 4Ps of marketing. In addition,
the recession has really put a lot of negative pressure on the whole sector. Hopefully, reason will prevail and industry leaders will start to prevail.

What was best advice that you received from your mentor? Who is it?
His name is Greg Schupp. He told me that I don't belong behind a desk working for someone else. I need to own the desk and run my own company. |

Favorite Books?
I would recommend 4 hour work week to everyone. I was that guy who
left home Monday morning and come home Friday night on the red-eye. This was my primary mission in life for 9+ months. In that time I realized that the industry has no loyalty and neither to employees. It is time for us to take our lives back. |
