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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My dad wanted me to be a businessman, but I felt that wasn't for me.
When I was 18, and when I entered my family business, I soon realised that it wasn't as easy as I thought. I had to deal with people of my father's generation. Building trust was key to doing business.
My dad is very successful in his business. He's always been big in having hobbies and having little ways to get away. He always made time for hunting and fishing. He always encouraged me to do it.
My father was a successful entrepreneur.
I was never really brought into the show business side of my father's life. I guess that's been a blessing and a downfall. But it's made my own work the initiation.
When I sold my first business, I wanted to do something nice for my dad. I wanted to give my parents a bunch of money, but they wouldn't take anything from me. They were so happy for me; they felt they didn't need money.
My dad was an entrepreneurial businessman, and maybe I got some of his ability.
My father was a businessman. We had discussions about honesty and dishonesty.
The real estate business was something Dad and I could do together.
My father was adamant in his disapproval of my interest in show business.
