Yet, I cannot deny that I brought more to this journey
than a sense of direction and the guts to take the first step.

The strengths, skills, knowledge and assets I brought
to my adventure, were a mixed bag of tricks –
interesting, but not determinant of success  …or were they??

The List

What I had when I began my journey included:
•   a love and respect for the meaningful power of quotes
•   a housing & display solution  (the digital photo frame newly introduced to the market)
•   an eye for aesthetics and design
•   on-the-job-training (observation) in composition due to previous work for a talented photographer
•   an education in psychology accompanied by an active & inquisitive mind
•   on-the-fly experience & street education from a short stint in a marketing consulting role
•   experience & observation from a  shorter stint at an Internet search engine site
•   a lack of knowledge of how to start a business, but a spotted history of valuable roles for small
businesses, in addition to previous entrepreneurial considerations
•   a love of humankind
•   a resourceful nature
•   a contagious passion
•   a history of painful challenges, yet a tenacity yet to be fully exercised, stretched & tested
•   experiences which required adaptation, complemented by my strive & thrive for improvement
•   a few invaluable friends and acquaintances whom would soon be tried, tested & revealed
(in some cases proven, some unexpectedly; and in other cases failed, also sometimes unexpectedly)

What does one do with such an odd list of strengths and assets?
As we know now, clearly, one creates Quoteagious.
