Funny story, I got started in the completely wrong way in entrepreneurship. I wasn't being followed by VAC at the time. Although I was released medically, I didn't realize I had pretty severe post-traumatic stress syndrome. I just decided that I couldn't carry on in my teaching career any longer because I was having panic attacks, and I didn't know why, and I just said, “I'm done."
I left, and I found a job in tech. I subsequently got fired from that job because it was a terrible fit, and then I told my wife, “I have this great idea. I'm going to start a company right now.”
She said, “That is not a good idea," but I'm glad I did it because now I'm here with you today. I started with the money I had in my bank account. That's it. I had no idea how to access capital, but I knew I could do something relatively cheaply online, so I started coaching people online and started making revenue that way.
Now, trying to grow the business, access more capital and access individuals who can put me in the right rooms is where I'm starting to focus a lot of my efforts. That's the nature of pretty much all the companies I know and all the individuals I know who started companies. We all started in our basements and figured we could make money doing this. Then we all bootstrapped our companies.
