Starting a business with nothing

I have done a number of different companies and careers in my life, some out of boredom, some out of necessity to survive. The reason I truly became a business owner was I wanted to control the values and morales I represented. I truly believe that you reflect just as much on a company as they reflect on you and I wanted a career I could be proud of and stand for what I knew to be right while also helping empower other people to take control of their lives so that they may never be as helpless or homeless, like I was.
