I tried to be. I worked as a teacher, did the corporate thing at a law firm and a MIS firm. Was bored and miserable. Too much beaucracy, too many steps to find success. When you can outperform your boss in a week, you start to wonder why you are making half of what he is earning. University work was okay, but only after I started working by the task and stopped working hourly.
now I'm in my recliner 12 hours a day, busting ass to stay ahead of this line of websites in my box.
