This is exactly what flirtysomething.com does not stand for. Yes, we want to succeed as a business. Yes we want to turn a profit. Otherwise we cease to exist. But unlike Herb Vest, who undoubtedly has millions stashed away for himself even if the class action suit against his company drives him out of business […]

See link below to an inspirational article about the spirit of entrepreneurship. Perseverance in the face of every conceivable obstacle — financial, spiritual, social. Stubborn persistence.
