It's far more difficult being a small-business owner starting a business than it is for me with thousands of people working for us and 400 companies.

Ridiculous yachts and private planes and big limousines won't make people enjoy life more, and it sends out terrible messages to the people who work for them. It would be so much better if that money was spent in Africa - and it's about getting a balance.
