I am in my late thirties. I have worked myself up from handling mail to being an agent for a wellknown entertainment agency. I now represent several famous musicians. People say I am an enthusiastic and tireless promoter. To help my clients get jobs, I use bite-sized chocolate chip cookies as a calling card. My aunt taught me how to bake cookies when I lived with her as a teenager. Before I dropped out of high school and joined the air force, I was getting vocational training in the food trades but I have never run my own business. Some of my friends in the entertainment industry have encouraged me to open a store that would sell my cookies. They have offered to help finance my venture in exchange for partial ownership. My cookies would look and taste very different from the cookies sold in the grocery stores today.
