The J.O.B. never really worked out for my mindset!
I'm no different than most people. Went to school, got an education but could never find a great paying job in my chosen field, the hospitality industry. So, I worked as a waiter for many years, delved deeply into wine education, became a pretentious, boring wine geek actually.
Everything was wine this, and wine that. I created a wine education DVD (Wineadvantage) and sold it by any means possible. Youtube, Facebook, Ebay, and many other places. I used it when I became a wine rep in the field to educate servers, bartenders, managers, and the people who really needed the education, the restaurant owners. I would charge for seminars, creating wine lists, etc. But...I always gave the DVD away for FREE! That's when I really understood what entrepreneurship was really all about. I tried everything I could to make money but it never got me the big bucks. (not because I gave it away) It was fun, but I couldn't support my family on it.
