In my own little way…

In IT, I have always gravitated to the support positions. It helped me feel like I was making a difference, even if it was in my own little way.

My Mom is my hero

My mom is the most selfless person I know. She has been teaching for over 30 years now and her dedication to her students and profession has been a huge inspiration to me.

Internet Marketing was a hobby

Internet Marketing was seen as more of a hobby than anything else.

I would read blogs and go on forums to get information on all of the latest trends in internet marketing.

Just a hobby, not a career

This would be as far as I would take it. It was just seen as something that was interesting but not a viable option to make a living off of.

It was not until I got tired of doing IT, that i started to see Internet Marketing as a real possibility for a professional career.

What is next?

Entrepreneurship is the next step.
