Peter Wasmer is a long time Naples, Florida-based entrepreneur who helps pragmatic small business owners manage like a pro. Being a serial entrepreneur doesn’t always mean being successful; he admits that his clothing line “failed miserably.” But the entrepreneurs who make it are the ones who dust themselves off and get back to work. “You’re driven by your own dreams,” he says. “You’re not driven by somebody else telling you what to do.”
