My work predominately deals in the hospitality industry and I am very familiar with east Indians and their businesses. Simply put they have a work ethic Americans, as a whole, don't have. In their culture it's common to have a owner of as many as a dozen hotels still willing to fill in for a absent maid and vacuum or run extra towels etc. They start out with a six unit 'dive', with a couple thousand down, save every penny they can by having the entire family working and move up the ladder. It is in their culture to own and operate their own business and it is not uncommon for a M.D. to give up his/her practice to focus solely on hotels after just being an investor.

During a interview where the question, 'What are your hobbies?' was asked, a man who owned over a dozen hotels worth between $3 and $10 million each answered, 'I have no hobbies. Hobbies cost money'.

Face it, we can't compete with that!
