Yes friends, it's true.. I never went to college. At the time, there wasn't a school that taught how to be a Khocolate making entrepreneur to the stars. I had to figure it out on my own. I was in good company though. Steve Jobs never went to college either. I learned by doing and Apple became my largest client. A decision I have never regretted.
