Check out this video where the entertainment industry’s highest paid executive Tyler Perry gives us some words of inspiration and tips on how to become successful. What do you have to do? Simple. Just plant your seed (idea), water it (working hard) and believe in self (have faith). Above all, Perry stressed the importance of narrowing your focus on to one thing and not get involved with so many things at one time:
