A short YouTube testimonial by Lita Abel of US Lumber, Inc. (New Jersey). She recounts immigrating from the Philippines, starting work in the U.S. as a housekeeper, and pursuing a long-held dream—motivated partly by the TV series Dynasty—to become a business owner. She notes that owning a business requires constant hard work and concern for employees, and recognizes both advantages and disadvantages of entrepreneurship.

My name is Lita Abel, US Lumber, Inc. In New Jersey. Because I am a dreamer, and I always wants to be a boss. That's a dream of mine, to be a boss one day. And in the series Dynasty, Joanne Collins encouraged me and I admired her, the way she conduct business. So it's really a dream of me that I fulfill. It motivates me because I'm from the Philippines. I immigrated here in the United States, and my first job here in the United States is a housekeeper. And always, always a dream to be a boss. Being a business owner, there's advantage and disadvantage. Being a disadvantage is you have to work 24 hours, you have to work hard, and you always have to think about your employees and your business.
