If the question refers to being an entrepreneur, I’d say my entire life. Raking leaves, shoveling a walkway for $1.00 were all jobs I started when I was 9 years old. I was always my dream to be my own boss. Later in life, after getting a degree in visual communications (a fancy name for a graphic designer), I would freelance for various companies under the name “Glen Halliday Design” designing logos, collateral, websites, and so on. My current company, Kids Crooked House, is a great mix of everything I love. I get to be very creative, work with my hands and build, but also surround myself with people I enjoy working with.

Someone near and dear to me recently posted on her FaceBook that if it weren’t for the economy she would be on vacation in Florida right now.

The women in her family make a traditional journey to the land of beaches every fall but she used the money she had saved for the trip on a used car. A good used car. It was a good purchase.

And then I was reading HowtoGetOutofDebt.org and there was a woman not sleeping and in dire straights because of how Bank of America is cheating her.

These two stories have one core problem: the people have become victims. They have given away their power.

So here are the five rules to re-gaining our power, seeing opportunity, and creating what we really, really want in life:
