Every day you need to make some choices, even for smaller expenses such as going to a party or dinner, to ensure that you pay your bills on time. However, it is an opportunity to learn a lesson that you will not have learned otherwise. It makes you willing to do anything to make sure that you are not broke again.

A taste of running a business changes your outlook to your life.
You will always look for an opportunity to start a new venture or add value in whatever you pursue.
