The first step for me was KNOWING I was to good for a regular job.
 

Well not to sound cocky but ever since I was in school I used to get so angry when my teachers in college would say: "Have fun being creative while in school, It will be the last time you get to be creative". They said this because they said out there you just take orders and have to design what you boss wants. I learned about graphics and web design.

I never found a job for years. Then I worked in real estate for a while and made big money but I was bored. So then I just started creating my own websites and blogs, and I now make good money online. I also sell products online. I get to be creative and do what I love!

But It all started when I knew I was just to GOOD for a regular job.

How did you find your freedom in life and start making money the American way?
From you home office sipping a nice cool Miller High Life? :d

This post is to good for me. I'm going too go look at the classifieds.

Do you build sites as a freelancer for other people or build them for yourself?

If for yourself, would you mind sharing examples of what type of business models you run?
