How great that you learned and can feel confident that even at 34, it's important that you pursue your own business. :) I think life takes us in different directions all the time but it's the ones where we are the most uncomfortable where we learn the most. Or at least that is what I am hoping for! I've learned more since I quit than I have in a long time and for that I am already so grateful.
Thank you so much for the words of encouragement and I will take your advice. And thank you for the compliment :P
