Served in the Army for 2 years until age 20;
Went to College for almost 4 years; started window cleaning as I was waiting for my first teaching job to begin. A freind of mine had a jewelry store and asked me to clean the windows as I was not employed yet.
I bought the basics; did her store and the 2 other stores next to her that first day.
Made back my investment the first day and loved the work; so I have been on my own since that day.
Have never had a boss except in the Army. Glad I did not start my teaching career; the money is bad and the stress is high.
Been self employed since age 23.
Have loved this business since day 1.
Hugs
