Do you think that Tim Delaney possessed necessary characteristics to become a successful entrepreneur by February 1993?
Since his youth, Tim Delaney was a hard-working and determined person which continued to demonstrate during his path. Before starting University, he did labour work which steeled his determination to “being paid to think”.
