I told my old boss to take this job & shove it fifteen years ago. I was working for a company selling mainframe computer supplies. I was one of their top $ales people for over five years. My one advantage was that I knew the products, the marketplace and my corporate clients so well, that I was able to start my own company, doing the same type of work, except - I DID NOT HAVE TA WORK FOR DA MAN ANYMORE. My wife and I had been saving up for a larger home - I decided to take that cash (about $10,000) and rented a 500 square foot office in Oak Brook, IL (the corporate home of McDonalds). I also called various vendors I knew might help me in my new venture. I brought $5,000 worth of diskettes, computer tape cartridges, nylon ribbons used on large IBM mainframe computers and a large quantity of misc. computer supplies. I then contacted all of my previous clients, and told them I had started my own company, and needed their business. 80 % of these clients continued to do business with me. The nice thing is that I could do my own thing from then on. Two years ago, I even put on my own Computer EXPO & seminar. I was a guest on WLS AM Radio in Chicago for about 30 minutes and gave away FREE Microsoft Office Software. One of my EXPO co-sponsors, Microsoft, had given it to me to help me promote the EXPO. My net profit was over $10,000 on the day of the EXPO.
