Richard Maize now indulges in his real passion, sharing some of his business secrets and insights with up-and-coming young entrepreneurs:

"Success does not mean solely making money," says Richard Maize. "People have passions for different endeavors. Some people love to teach or coach kids. Not much money earned; but the reward with a successful career typically will outweigh the higher wage earner. Some people will give of their time for non profits and charitable organizations. There is very little by way or monetary reward. But, there is nothing that can take the place of that reward especially if their jobs are carried out properly."

Maize adds: "The answer to the question is simply no matter what you chose for self gratification, you must not be lazy, you must be organized, you have to deal with people honestly and forthright, a very important aspect of being a success is that you are available and you must be responsible to your job and others that count on you."
Maize says that the most important tool to be successful is that you must care about what you do and if you are self employed, you must love what you do.
