my life has been all about following my desires and trying to push myself in any vocation that i feel warrants my attention at any given time
ambition, creativity, business sense, skills and the desire to succeed is all that is necessary to excel at any job
i wanted to become a magician when i was 15 and by the time i was 18 i was getting work all the time and performing before audiences of 3000 people
i wanted to write and perform music when i was 12 and by the time i was in my 20's i had my material on the radio and 100's of songs written that i will eventually either sell or cut myself
i wanted to make a career in contemporay art when i was 24 and after 5 years of school and numerous awards and scholarships, i was noted as one of the hottest environmental artists
i wanted to know more about how contemporary art galleries ran ( so i wouldn't get ripped off by art dealers ) and by the age of 33 i was assistant director at one of the top galleries in Canada
i wanted to learn more about smart card technology and by the time i turned 34 - what should have been my early retirement, made me lose everything (but this was one of the few times when i was not in control of the situation)
i wanted to make use of the computers and equipment that i got in the settlement from the above company to make money and teach myself all about the adult industry and how to survive in this business
almost 6 years later and i'm still here, making more money than i ever have before in my life, working for myself and although often complaining about a bad day or week, not really wanting to change a thing about my business
thanks for the great topic Amp - it makes me happy to be working with you in this biz
