In January 1977, I made the most important business decision of my life. The decision to manufacture my own system - The QLT system. I still had to overcome all my fears and doubts. Like everybody else the thing I feared most was the fear of failure but somehow - I had to start. I knew that the two most important things to a person is his face and his name.
People always look for themselves first in a group picture.
Or they want to see their name in print. Once the idea fully sank in that this was a business based on ego and vanity, the fear of failure started to fade. Making a decision is one thing. Getting it done is something else again. I begged, borrowed and mortgaged everything I owned to get the money.
