How did you know it was time for you to become an entrepreneur?
It started off with my fiscal life going massively down the tube and finally looking it in the face and doing something about it after I had a bankruptcy at 23. I started reading about credit and then moved into reading about investments. Then I stumbled across a wonderful book called Rich Dad, Poor Dad. It really refocused my thought process in a way few books ever have.
Without going on and writing a novel or a full hub right in this little box (though I have written a hub about my first property). I purchased my first rental property a few years after this light bulb came on, and i n a very short span also started a retail store which sadly closed after 4 years. But starting my own businesses will go on and I am still a small time landlord looking to get bigger.
In the end there was really no ah-ha single moment its a journey that you need to prepare for the best you can. But in the end you will never be fully prepared you simply have to prepare the best you can and take the leap into something when you see it. Even if you don't think your quite ready, think about it really hard before you just sit around waiting forever to be ready.

When did you start to form an idea of who you were?I've always been a pretty introspective person, so I started to form my own coherent self-identity pretty young. My older brother, on the other hand, spent so much time living up to our parents' expectations that I don't think he even tried to find...
