Chapter Three - 1990
Building With A Little Help From Bill Gates
Despite the turmoil of the year before, I truly believed that Bright Ideas
was going to be all right and that the company would be successful. I
don’t know why I believed that, but I
did. My family and friends were not so
confident, probably because they didn’t
have the same dream and vision I did.
By now I had discovered my career
goal. I wanted to be a Corporate Event
Planner. It sure sounded good
anyways. All I needed was some event
jobs and I would be all set.
I was sitting on the beach with a
girlfriend in the spring of 1990. She
was asking me what I was going to do
about my business situation. I told
her that I wasn’t worried in the least.
Good things were coming my way.
She shrugged her shoulders and I am sure she thought I was
delusional. How could I say this when my situation was so dismal? I
don’t know. But it was how I honestly felt.
