1. Why did you decide to start your own business?
I needed money. But, I also fell into it: http://www.sugarrae.com/blog/my-entry-t ... marketing/
2. Are you more successful then you thought you'd be?
I'm probably more successful than *anyone* thought I would ever be. And it feels awesome.
3. Are you more content (happy) than you'd be in a standard work environment?
Very much so. I couldn't see ever working for anyone else again.
