history: When i started my business. I was sure I could out do anyone.  About 10 years ago my boss fired me out of nowhere. I was sick of making money for other people so I started my own business.  Wow_comma_ I'm sorry about getting fired_comma_ but it sounds like you've got guts! How do you like the business?
current: I love set my own hours, do lots of different things, and make about the same I was making. 
next: Oh that is so great. So many people fantasize about doing that.  Congratulations!
