['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, I'm sorry about getting fired, but it sounds like you've got guts! How do you like the business?", 'I love set my own hours, do lots of different things, and make about the same I was making.']
Oh that is so great. So many people fantasize about doing that.  Congratulations!
When i started my business. I was sure I could out do anyone.
