How Marshall Field Succeeded - Orison Swett Marden - Mises Daily

How Marshall Field Succeeded - Orison Swett Marden - Mises Daily: "'May I ask you, Mr. Field, what you consider to have been the turning point in your career — the point after which there was no more danger?'

'Saving the first $5,000 I ever had, when I might just as well have spent the moderate salary I made. Possession of that sum, once I had it, gave me the ability to meet opportunities. That I consider the turning point.'"

That $5,000 would be more like $100,000 now.
