Looking at the business world for the potential that it offers has enabled me to take control of my own life. I first started thinking of needs that exist within the market when I was 18 years of age. I knew that I did not want to work an office job, I began trying different ideas to see if anything would stick. After meeting a few baseball players, I decided it would be a great idea to open a company that offers fans the ability to purchase autographs from their favorite players. It may not always be possible to meet these players in person, but my idea helped to remove the wall that normally existed between the two groups. I found that this was a very successful approach, it works because of the desire to remember those performers that we enjoy most. I now find myself interested in the ideas of others for creating success in the future.
