I started my business on a wing and a prayer. All I knew was that I wanted to be my own boss.
I'd spent a lot of my life discovering that I was good at development—developing ideas, programs, new concepts. As an artist, I was always creating new images, and there was nothing I liked better than being given a blank canvas or a "blank" company, and being told, "Create it." "Build it."
So I did. I created a public-relations firm. In many ways I was flying high with the excitement of getting something off the ground and seeing where it would go. Unfortunately, the euphoria didn't last.
