An Entrepreneurial Jurney

Introduction
After twenty-five years as a dental technician, I felt a need to change profession. It was a difficult and even painful decision, as I took great joy from the artistic aspects of my work, and there was a certain degree of security that went with what I had already achieved in that field. At the same time, dental technology did not offer a lot of advancement. My true dream was of a business that had the world as its market, and I was ready to sacrifice anything to achieve it. Furthermore, and not least of all, I had the desire to create a better future for my family and to create a new business direction, and these things pulled me towards change.
Change means facing many unknowns: dental technology is not fluid dynamics, physics or engineering; and change is always traumatic. I was perfectly aware of this, but it did not stop me. I think it is a vocation, a drive that comes from within. As in sports, I felt the fascination of a challenge more difficult than the first, and therefore even more interesting. The decision ended with a compromise, the less risky route, and for a few years I have carried out two jobs simultaneously.
