BB. I was in the auto parts business. Started at age 17 as a delivery boy for $1.75 an hour. Work my way up to the ranks, became a store manager, the owner sold me one store in 1983. I went on to open two more stores. Then I sold everything to Carquest in late 2000. But I listened to the old guys that taught me the business. They encouraged me to buy the real estate where I was doing business if I could. And I did. I did not sell the commercial buildings to carquest. 23 years later they still rent them from me. Like I said, I have been blessed
