Over the course of my lifetime my guess is I've cut ~$100 million in deals including negotiations with some of the countries largest retailers. I've managed sales for dozens of companies and managed marketing for a few.

Got it. So you've been an employee.

What, you install software in doctor's clinic

Well, that's one of the businesses I own now. But I've been self employed since I was 24. And I know what it is to face a payroll, to have to fire people -- not because they were doing a lousy job, but because the economy got crappy, to have to go to the bank and borrow a few thousand dollars to get from here to there, and all the trappings of being in business. This is a perspective you cannot have if you haven't done these things.

I also know what it is to be rewarded for my own hard work, and to have to fork it over at year end for the government to give to others who haven't worked as hard.

Something you know nothing about.
