#77 Every Person Should Start Their Own Business - Michael Donnelly, The CBD Path
Michael Donnelly was an active kid. So active that he didn't care for school, didn't care to work for his dad, and didn't care to go to college. So what's next? He had scored high on a military aptitude test in high school and was told by the Army recruiter he'd make a great Green Beret. Cool huh?! But he was advised to talk to all the services before committing and indeed was entranced by the Navy and becoming a Seal. In fact, mother, father and grandfather had served in the Navy, so it was a natural. He joined at 17, went through basic and then came BUDs. Of the 127 who started, 18 graduated. After 10 years active duty, he took his high-risk attitude to civilian life and his organized and disciplined background gave him business skills. He started literally at the bottom, stringing wire under houses, until he could start his own business in the same industry. He has owned many companies since and has been a big money raiser in the causes for which he believes in. And CBD caught his eye as a natural healing agent, especially for vets. A new company, Michael is now active in getting CBD to more vets and others.
