This is a story of choices. Choices that we all have to make in our business and personal lives and the future ambitions we all have or desire. It is my story, Alex Stewart, told through my eyes, my experiences, the lessons I have learned through my own experiences. I am sure my experiences can make or facilitate the right choices in the lives of anyone who might read this story. For these reasons I wrote this book.
