"I think it has been the overall structure of my business that has given me the most satisfaction. To be able to say that I literally started my company without any money and used all my learned skills from years of working has been very rewarding to my self-esteem. I took my spatial and artistic ability, along with my marketing and website development experience, as well as my business management skills, and stitched together a little business. I really can't complain!

"My artist cousin Penny told me years ago that talent is really 90% sweat and 10% innate ability, and I have always believed that. Hard, smart work will get you anywhere you want to go. I do not have a degree, but managed to forge several interesting careers without one, by keeping my nose to the grindstone, possessing a vision and thinking outside the box - self-determination to the hilt! I recommend it to everyone!"
