Back in 1997 I had a picture of the perfect life in my mind: work when I want, where I want, and do something I love - all without a boss, of course. It was going to be wonderful life. Interestingly, I didn't know what I wanted to do, and I didn't have a plan. I didn't invest in education or training. I didn't ask anyone for aid. I wanted to launch a successful business on my own. So I did. It took almost 10 years. If it wasn't for my determination to never go on another job interview, I might never have succeeded.
