My dad told me he wanted me to join in the business, but nothing was firm. He was quite young when he died, so we hadn't talked about it in depth.

My dad was in the life insurance business, so I learned about selling when I was about 14 because I started working as a secretary.

After my father died, we were pretty much wiped out financially as a family, so I decided to give finance a try.

I don't know how many companies I've bought in my life, and most of them I've bought from children whose father has passed away, and they say, 'Now we're free, would you like to buy it?'

I have a company called Earl Campbell Foods. I got into the meat business in 1991.

It was really a very small company when I started and it changed very rapidly during those first periods.

My father was a successful entrepreneur.

I started selling insurance in 1979 and continued doing that until 1985 when I opened my own insurance firm.

I could imagine, some number of years from now, starting my own company. But not yet. Not for a while.

I was very lucky. I started my own commercial company.
