--------Fast forward a few years...I had tried many ventures...Building an app (I was the worst coder in the world)Tried building a physical product (I can't build crap...still can't)Tried an informational product (I was alone and couldn't juggle my day job...got burned out)Finally, I stumbled on what I love.
