Prove 'em wrong

Updated: Oct 30, 2022











Thirty years ago I had a bright idea: I'll start my own apparel line

and call it 'Avanzare'. It's Italian. Means to go forward.


One of my best friends, Tom, had advised me, that I should have changed

the name from "Avanzare" to "I'll Be Sorry". But my enthusiasm

ruled the day. I put everything I had into the line including my savings.

Four months later, I had lost over 3/4 of my investment.


Mike Tyson once said" Everybody has a plan till they get punched in the face"


I always say, the windshield is bigger than the rear view mirror for

a purpose!

Never give up!

Always ask yourself "What can I learn and how can I make it better next time?"


. . . and 38 years later, I started Karlie Clothes.

Don't accept failure.

Prove 'em wrong!
