5. What inspired you to go work for yourself?
I have always wanted to work for my self. I went to law school with the only goal being to start my own practice. I left my law practice to work for Tony because I believed that move would be the next step to building long term wealth.
Jack Welch wrote a whole book on this subject: ?Control your own destiny or someone else will,? and I took what I learned in that book to heart. Though this is one of the few self help business books that I have read (Rick may swear by them, but they mostly bore me). I really got a lot out of the basic idea that the money to be made in this world goes to those who take the most risk through starting and building your own business.
When I left NationalNet, I got a lot of supportive comments, but the one that really struck home the most was the one from Ron Cadwell who said: ?You can?t keep an entrepreneur from doing his own thing.? That is so true and really affirmed that I had made the right decision. Words of wisdom from a very successful entrepreneur!
