ALLIANCE BUSINESS SOLUTIONS

Bet you have some questions for me: who am I, what do I do, how did I get here… after all, you hang out with people you know, like and trust - and I'm happy to contribute to this "virtual interview" with you... From a young age, I wanted to run my own business. My first gig was teaching English to my dad. The training was structured (set dates and times, lessons written out - I think I still have something - if I find it, I'll post it one of these days.) There was homework - graded no differently than mine was in school; and I charged for my services - all of 25 cents per class, per the contract Not bad for a 10 year old. I think I was inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit that runs in my family - both my parents were self-employed for many years. My mother was in home care services, and my father manufactured leather handbags - right from our garage. I can still hear the sound of the machines going, and I have to admit - growing up, it was really cool to have unique school bags..
