Try not to put yourself down like that; it might just be that you were already grounded and emotionally centred enough that you didn't need to chase the riches and fame :)
I guess you are right.
I think my biggest block to success was that I was just to happy! :)
The very reason I had started that business in 2001 was because I wanted to travel full time.
I managed to do that and I was already in a "too good to be true" state of mind.
The happiness and fulfillment I got from those years are now my own "essential oils" for the occasional hard times.
When something goes wrong I just have to go back, smell a drop of that, and I'm back on my feet in no time.
I wasn't just looking to grow the business, it was a mean to an end.
