What advice do you have for someone who seeks to become an entrepreneur?
To have faith in the power of God & themselves is first and foremost. Gotta have faith like water, not fire. Fire can be put out by water. Water can move mountains, and cause a Tsunami. Faith will take you wherever your heart desires.

What advice do you have for someone who collects art?
Google is amazing when it comes to Education on any subject matter. I would start there. Next, I would find an Art Broker to consult and have him or her give some advice based on where one is in their Art collecting process and budget.
