Spent a lifetime working for other people, companies, etc. But always wanted to go my own way. And I did a LOT of stuff! Was a Chimney Sweep, sold a Discount Card for local merchants, was an Award and Appreciation Consultant (gifts for service, work, retirement, etc.) These were my personal attempts at going into business. 

I also worked full time as a vending machine tech, copier and fax machine tech, and for the last 19 years worked as an online jukebox tech, where I did phone-based tech support for a large jukebox music company.

After retirement, I tried stock and crypto trading, writing books for Amazon, and probably 20 different affiliate marketing courses. Most were crap, but some were good... just not complete! They always left out some important info to actually making money online.

Fortunately, I eventually found some "gurus" that were teaching COMPLETE courses in the affiliate marketing arena, and I got the "rest of the story." And that makes all the difference in the world!
