The entrepreneurial spirit flows through my veins, it makes up my DNA, and it was the driving force behind my personality before I could even comprehend such a notion. At a very young age the concept of being able to create something that someone else found enough value in to pay money for, was to me, one of the greatest achievements one could attain. The fact that making my own money afforded me the ability to obtain the things I wanted without having to ask or beg an adult was the purest form of freedom my young mind had experienced. That experience had a profound effect on me and has shaped my life’s path. A path that was forged in starting a Kool-Aid stand.
