SKOOLDAGOON launches KITCHENTALKMUSIC Group and secures his future

Turning a dream into reality requires more than hope and luck. Real success demands a valuable amount of time, discipline, visionary faith, and a cast-iron stomach for pain. A person can become a prisoner of their dreams and live in an alternate reality. Fantasies become roadmaps, which lead to a dead-end due to lack of education and precise business planning.
Creating, building, and running a potential multi-million-dollar enterprise is not for the light-hearted, and less than 2% of aspiring entrepreneurs survive and achieve success. Vulnerability is a beautiful emotion if you understand how to balance it against fear. Self-financing thoughts into reality is a risky business, and it at times requires a person to become a ‘lone wolf.’
