Clifford Sugerman was a student studying taxation who wanted to be an entrepreneur rather than take a stable job, contrary to his parents' wishes. After leaving school at age 16, he started his own small stationary shop and learned more than he ever could have in a classroom. Through experimenting with different businesses, he gained valuable experience and knowledge. His hard work eventually led to success as he opened multiple retail stores and became a franchise owner of top brands in his state. His parents grew to accept his career in entrepreneurship as they saw him flourishing in the market.
