Greetings @kweenbrand!
I hear you on the education. I was not a good student and I have struggled as a result of it.
With that in mind I did come to realize that running my own business was ideal to wirking for someone else.
I now run a painting business, but I could have realized this earlier in life had I not kept getting in my own way.
Since you are excelling in your painting business and you are happy with it. It's great!
Am only saying that people should not been forced into business even when they don't have a passion for it. And we should not play down on the value of education because we want people to own their businesses.
Thanks for your comment and for stopping by!
I appreciate.
