Being one of eleven grandchildren of a U.S. Postman and a homemaker who fed us well from their 40 square foot garden has been invaluable to me as an entrepreneur. During my early years, I learned how to keep the peace among my cousins when we visited our grandparents in their 800 square foot home. For some reason, I was the mediator between the six boys and five girls. Go figure. I would have never imagined those early life lessons ultimately serving as a training ground for entrepreneurship.
