"Yoni, I really like the lesson of the personal touch. So many salespeople that I run into don't give a crap about customers. I've been in stores lately where nobody even approaches customers. Andy is really an example of how to treat people right and I enjoyed hearing about him. Rochelle Rochelle"Subscribe

Richard Branson: An Inspiration for Entrepreneurs
"What I like about Richard Branson is not just his business. He is an adventurer. He tried flying a balloon around the world. He flies. He drives a race car. He is building a spaceship. What appeals to me is the risks he takes and his free spirit. Rochelle Rochelle"
