    never work a 'job' 1 week ago

    i don’t ever wanna work a J O B again ! i want to be self supporting for myself and my family. being on a ‘payroll’, doing something i don’t even like doing, just to ‘survive’, while some filthy rich person takes even MORE money from me, is not my idea of living. i want to master my talents, and use them to network and make connections with people, subsequently making money. it may take 10-15 years (hopefully not!), but i will dedicate myself to doing what makes ME happy – and that means building !

    using my connections to make it happen 2 weeks ago

    and tapping into all resources available

    One of my many co-workers said, “Once you do it (start your own business) you’ll wonder what took you so long.”

    I either can get the long end of the stick or the short end…I’m tired of struggling for myself while helping to make others rich. It’s time for me to put education & know-how to make myself financially secure.
