 “No matter how high you get in employment, someone else is always profiting from your work. I wanted to have control of my own destiny, make my own decisions. I wanted to take a positive step to shape my own future. Although I was impressed by the Countrywide Signs model and support systems, it was the people that swung it – they were so open and helpful.”
