    What inspired you to start your own business?

    I am curious why people start their own businesses.

    What's your story? I'm interested to know what you do and why you decided to make a business venture out of it.

    I run a small computer business. I was doing some freelance work and noticed that my clients were pleased with my work. I decided to search for more clients, and thought I would be more reputable if I operated under a business name. It's a new business, but it's going at a steady pace so far.

    What's your story?

    I enjoy assisting and re-engineering businesses to guide them on their path to success.

    Problem solving and having a particular shine to business processes would be the major factors to my decision.

    By providing my expertise at a low cost, allows many smaller companies to regain the market share and power over larger more main stream companies. Ensuring the smaller guys have a chance in this ever changing and competitive marketplace.

    That’s what drove my decision to create my business, saveyourchain.com

    What inspired me to start my own business is wanting to be different from my family. A differentiation between me and them financially was what truly motivated me inside, even though it wasn't apparent at the time. As time progressed, i created a list of reasons why i wanted to successful. This list came out to 80-90 reasons why success was something i truly desired. It created tons of positive momentum, which boosted me towards doing any and everything inorder to reach finanaical success. Im happy that till this day, i stay moivated all day long. I feel as if soon, i will reach my success, but yet again its about the journey not the destination.

    I haven't start owning a business but rather I am currently employed and this work inspires me to learn different things specially running a business through readings on forums and blogs.

    Came from nothing.... I MEAN NOTHING! grew up in a foster home, no money what so ever. (following legal emancipation)I moved into my own apartment at 13years old and worked three crap jobs to pay the rent. I PROMISED MYSELF that i would succeed in life... I started my company at 17. for the last year it has been a struggle but in the last few months it has gotten easier... I Plan to be the next Richard Branson (the female version) I have learned that if I can survive through the childhood I had, running a business is nothing but stress compared to that.
    I created the Magazine because I saw a need for it in my community, an untargeted market. we have an inspirational story in the Mag each issue, an oppertunity for those with a story like mine to share.

    I am from Montreal, Canada. After my secondary 5 which is grade 11, I decided to travel and backpack instead of going directly to college, I was 17 yrs old back then. A lot of people started questioning my decision, they said it was stupid that I am just wasting time bla bla bla...

    I traveled across Asia and Europe, met so many people and learn so many things...From there...I knew I need to be successful in life...I dont want to be whatever people want me to be...I dont want to be no 9 to 5 worker, I dont care if I do not live in a big house or have big cars...I want to be free...and in this world the only way to by your freedom is with money...So I will be rich...I want to do stuff that I want when I want and where I want...without people telling me shit. And more importantly...I want to make a difference before I die I want to help as much people that I can...

    A number of different reasons. Money for starters that would be a great help, inbetween jobs at the moment so it's giving me something to do. Learning what is involved with starting your own business with paying tax and gst and registering your company.
