Do you like being told what to do, when to do it, how to do it and where to do it? (you can make “it” whatever you choose).

There was a season in my life when I was much younger, when being told what to do was just an acceptable part of life. It was something that was indoctrinated in me. 

I grew up in a culture – Jamaican – where as a child you were to be seen and not to be heard. You just do as you are told.

This was true in almost all aspect of society – in the home, at school, at play and at work. Challenging the status quo wasn’t an attractable option because of the consequences that would follow.

In this episode today, our guest – Matt Miller – was one that found out he disliked being told what to do. He did submit at various points in his life especially during his military years in the United States Air Force.

I would imagine if there was one place that being told what to do is part of the cultural norm, it would be the military.

However, after leaving the military he was convinced being told what to do, was not his thing.

He had to find an alternative, which is to be the one in charge of his life and those who depended on him. This became clearer to him when an event that he had no control over, put him $80,000 in the hole.

He went on to form his own company and through patience, risk, trial and error and determination, made it into a million dollar company.

You will hear how he did this as well as how you too can do what it is you love on your own terms, if this is something you so desire. Matt is living proof of this.
