"First, I wanted the challenge and freedom of running my own show. I like the idea of waking up in the morning and knowing that the success of my company depends directly on the decisions I make. Second, I believe that one of the surest and most responsible paths to financial freedom is through building a successful small business that creates jobs and wealth for a community."

That pretty much sums up my motivation for going down my own path, hopefully soon.
