I like the part when you said that you started working aside your job to make extra $$$- This is exactly what I am talking to people, that do not wait the moment you get led off from the work and then discover your "ENTREPRENEUR " or whatever mindset. The story is everything takes time in the beginning, so if you have a job and you can do something 3-4 hours per day or per week as extra and earn little money in the beginning, this means that you can make it happen.
Glad to read and see this post. Love it!
