Brendan always had an entrepreneurial mind. When he was a kid, he dreamed of worlds where he could visit. He wrote short stories and watched movies. After watching one particular movie called "Entrepreneurial Mayhem" where the lead character had to battle another business grabbed his interest. The Protagonist in the story had to stop the Antagonist from destroying a donut business that his father passed down to him. The evil villain used all kinds and schemes and plots to break the good guy's spirit. At the end of the film the Protagonist was celebrated by the community and on the girl in the end.

"Pop I want to get the girl at the end like that man, look at how beautiful she is", says a 12-year-old Brendan

After removing a face mask, Poppa Andrew twirls a thick mustache that loops at the end. He crosses gangly legs and leans back in the recliner. A soft spoken steady voice capturing Brendan's attention, "you have to work hard my boy".

"How hard will I have to work?" asks Brendan folding his legs waiting for the response that will change his life.

"Very, very hard, you'll always be tired, always searching for an edge and always trying to improve. It'll become an obsession. At first it'll hurt like crazy, then you'll get use to and won't want to do anything else, then the women will come, the key is to stay driven, stay active, can you do that?"

Brendan puts a finger to his lips, tilting his head to the ceiling, "Yes I can do it, I think I can, what kind of work will I have to do?"

"Who knows, only you can answer that question, I didn't make you, God did that and he implanted in your being what he wanted you to do with your life and you have to find out what it is, it might take you some places that you don't want to go, it's the search, the journey,...."

"Should I stop along the journey for something to drink or if it gets too hard".

Andruina steps in with her laptop and takes a seat on the sofa, crossing her ankles. Poppa Andrew blows a kiss at her. She blushes and blows one back and uncrosses her legs. She switches her protruding hips as she checks the food in the oven. Both men can overhear her giving advice to Brendan.

"Brendan, honey, you have to make the choice, me and your father are already living our lives. We're happy. We did our work. It's time for you to do yours. Think about this, if you quit you'll never get rewarded for your hard work, those with a brain want to get rewarded for the hours and dedication that they put into something, say you do go far, very far, you quit, what we'll you get out of it, absolutely nothing, your father never gave up, even at times when I thought he should have, but, when he was focused on something he would spend hours on it until it was finished or got him the results he wanted, don't stop until you get the results you want Baby, many people have stopped before getting the results they saw in their mind."

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

"My Baby's right, I can't trip if you say this is the farthest you'll go, only you know how far you'll go, is it worth the price your paying because it's going to cost something, it might be your sanity, your family, your friends, your residence, you just don't know until you jump into the battlefield."

"Will it be like the movie I just watched?" asks Brendan.

"It's only a movie, some aspects, let me change that, it could happen, not everything you saw in the movie, check this, there are going to be people wanting what you have and thinking of ways to take it from you, you have to be prepared for that, that's life", says Poppa Andrew.

"They not taking what I built, why do that, it's not fair, it's not honest business, does everyone do this, I could be wrong, maybe it is honest business, so the good guy, uh um, did the screenwriter, uh, not make the story realistic, because with what you're saying the bad guy should have won?"

"Don't let them fool you, the good guy doesn't always win, that's not realistic, I wish it was like that".

"The writer just wanted the good guy to win, is what you're saying, I wanted to be him so bad, why did the writer do that, isn't the story suppose to be authentic and realistic?"

"He's trying to sell tickets honey, money was spent on this movie, and they're trying to recoup", says The Wife.

"And that's business, you drop something, it can be a t-shirt, video game, movie, book, you want to get something for your efforts, you want to get your money's worth unless it's a passion project, ain't nothing free in this world, there's no free lunch, no free lunch, you think the food that your mother's making is free, I had to work for every ingredient she put in the pan, and Babygirl, I bought the pan too, right?"

"Yes you did", she says serving their plates off the tray.

"And I think I bought that tray too, did I buy that tray too Babygirl, yes I did, I put it in my locker, I stopped to the thrift shop during my lunch break, I really didn't want to go, but I know she kept harping on a tray, Poppa we need trays so we don't spill food and make a mess, I'm tired of cleaning spots off the carpet, yeah I got tired of hearing the same song and story, so one day I said let me go ahead and see if this thrift shop has tray and luckily I found a set of four. It was a miracle I tell you, I said to myself let me go ahead and get it".
