Top Resource: Work Ethic
-I stand by my earlier blog posts when I say my work ethic is my biggest resource. I have always been willing to do whatever is necessary to succeed and i will always hold such a mindset. I feel as if this is more important because, if one is willing to work hard no matter where, then they will always find success in all that they do. Not in one of my life's lessons have i ever truly thought "I shouldnt have worked that hard." I have only thought the opposite.

  1. Het Mitch,
    I like how you put your top resource as work ethic. Its probably something a lot of people lack today and may be the reason many people don't go far in their business venture. I can tell you know where you stand in terms of self worth and are able to put that to good use. Keep up the confidence and I'm sure you will get far with your business!

  4. Hey mitch, you have a great list of qualities that will help you succeed. I think your best qualities are work ethic, connections, high eq, and the fact that you get respect from others. These traits will help you primarily to become a great leader and head of a business. You seem like a smart guy with a good network and close family professionals to help you along the way. I wish you luck with your concept. Unfortunately I did not complete this assignment but check out my nlog for other cool posts!
