Bill Bartmann

Bill Bartmann,once ranked #25 of the wealthiest Americans, spoke to us first on Friday on the topic of "How to Borrow All the Money Your Business Needs." Before he got to that, though, he had these thoughts on being successful:

"The only opinion of you that matters is your own."

"You have to learn to forgive"—those who did something, those who did nothing, and yourself.

"Everything in life is a choice. Choose wisely."
