| |
| When Orfalea first rented his little $100 per week garage near the USC campus, he was told his venture would never work. It was a pipe dream, they said. It was a business that would flunk as fast as Orfalea had in school. Still, says Orfalea, “I didn’t listen. I knew what I was going to do.” |

| |
| You hear it all the time: Success is a state of mind. Some would argue that success is a natural result of proper planning, preparation and focused action – and that viewpoint certainly holds a grain of truth.
