I also grew up in an entrepreneurial environment and found myself always moving away from the mainstream of working for a corporation/company to designing and dreaming. One day I decided I needed to create to leave something of me behind, and an entrepreneur was born, my father would be proud.

...FREEDOM. 
 
My startup, A Funhouse Production!, is a place where collaboration is uncensored, creativity is empowered, and opportunities are infinite; it is here, in this “wealthy” landscape, where I am: FREE to take risks; FREE to break through creative boundaries; FREE to explore uncharted territory; FREE to discover opportunities; FREE to enjoy the process, and the journey; FREE to do what I love to do - inspire, motivate, and communicate via the language of entertainment.

heather, thanks for your words (actually, "word"). FREEDOM is a huge aspect of all of this for me, too.
 
by the way, folks, heather`s nickname at the radio studio was "happy feet" - you should see her go!

Hi Rich,
 
I miss tapping, and taping, in the radio studio...however, once I step foot back in this online StartupNation Community, I feel like I`m back at home!  Thank you for continuing to inspire and providing the necessary resources that keep my feet dancing.

I live 5 blocks from the beach, and the thought of driving 1 hour each way to the big city to work with `The Man` makes me ill! I don`t wanna leave my beach! I wanna stay home!

I am doing this business because I want to provide toxic free products to the public, not kill them and have financial freedom.

I am running my business because it is the best possible combination for achieving personal growth and earning an income from home all at the same time.

I started my 1-Solar business because

1) My product is better than existing products, and good for people and earth
2) The market asks for it
3) I hate to commute and work for dummies, and I want to have certain work environment that stuffy offices can`t provide
4) Potentially huge financial return that will give me even more freedom.
