Why did you become an entrepreneur?

Tell me in a 1-3 sentences... why did you become an entrepreneur? And when did you first get started?

I became an entrepreneur in college at 19 years old. My first business was a promotional products company called 61-Promo (very cheesy).

I had two customers: My professor who helped me start the business, and my mom. 😂

But it gave me the itch, and I endured. I became an entrepreneur our of desperation; hating working for others and wanting more money and more freedom over when, where, and how I worked.

I stayed as an entrepreneur because it became like a spiritual journey for me, unlocking deeper levels of self-awareness as I grew my companies. And of course for the freedom!!

Over to you - why did you become an entrepreneur? What's your origin story? Drop it in the comments!
