How did you know you wanted to start a business?
Were you interested in starting a business ever since you were young?
What got your interest to enter the business world?
Are there any jobs you considered before besides business?
Ever since I was young, I always wanted to be an astronaut. That was one of my biggest dreams until 2003 when disaster happened to Space Shuttle Columbia. Right when I saw the news, I lost my interest in becoming an astronaut and considered many different careers.
The other careers that I considered were being a pilot, being an engineer, then architect, to being a mechanic but when I was searching for salaries to each one of them, I was shocked about what I saw. They were way lower than what I expected.
Not until lately when I figured I wanted to be in the business world.
Dad purchased a Ferrari 360 and I joined a forum for Ferrari owners. First thing I came across was a topic called "How can I afford a Ferrari?"; most of the owners said they own a business, invest, and RE.
Since my parents also own a business. I thought eventually I would go into it too. I typed in "benefits of owning a business" in Google and after reading for about 2 hours, I finally decided that I want to own a business as well. (The universe has a good way of getting things connected.) :coco:
Now I'm really interested in business. I read many books, magazines, forums, online journals, and news (CNBC) regarding business. To date, I have learned so many things about it and have never considered another career.
