Start 2020 Strong
The January/February 2020 issue of Entrepreneur highlights Mark Wahlberg, American actor, producer, businessman, model, rapper, singer, and songwriter, sharing his insights in the cover story: Start 2020 Strong. Wahlberg was reportedly the best-paid actor in 2017 (Wikipedia) and has built a diverse and substantial fortune through commitment and hard work. “I work as hard as anybody will ever work and I like that. That’s why I’ve been successful and that is when I feel good about myself. If I do my damnedest and don’t succeed, I feel good about the effort.” –Mark Wahlberg
