I am a bootstrapper because I learned marketing strategies which set me up for success, rather than depending on others for help. I learned social media, public relations, advertising, branding, productions, etc. Many celebrities, brands, and businesses depend a lot on others for success, but I did not. I believe it was the right decision, in retrospect, because I know more about business, marketing, and influencing as compared with many other successful entrepreneurs. It’s a good feeling to do things independently than rely on others to help you succeed.
