Along with owning a huge Real Estate Empire, he is also an entrepreneur. Ask any entrepreneur that can be considered successful how many times they have failed in various ventures. Most successful people will tell you that you don’t become successful without failing sometimes. The strength of these people is in not allowing their failures to define them.
