Having cycled through 20+ professions by the age of 25, I had a very clear idea on what I DIDN'T want to do. I decided to scrape together a small amount of savings, and plan what I was going to do as a career. I only knew that I didn't want to report to a boss, nor did I want to request permission to take a vacation. Based on those two self-set rules, I began working on my online fitness coaching business.
