Vidal Sassoon, the famous ‘hair stylist’, was cutting a model’s hair and accidently lopped off a huge chunk.

My worst decision was buying a franchise when I wasn’t at my best financial state. The result was, the business didn’t go out as I planned, but I’m still managing my way to fortune from that source.
