Among the biggest challenges he faced was finding his life's purpose. At one point he had worked 28 different jobs. It was not soon when he realized he could be an entrepreneur like other members of their family. Pursuing Success as Entrepreneur Ricoh did not allow challenges to defeat him. He picked himself up and decided that it was enough. "Believe in your product and service because you are not just going to sell to anyone; you will be helping people who have that need." - Ricoh Danielson Not long, he successfully graduated from law school and started his own digital forensics firm.
