Thanks for the feedback. I should've been more specific. But I felt asking a specific question while easier to understand, excludes people by definition. Like if I asked, why did you decided to startup? That excludes employees. So I asked "take greater control". But I never said "get complete control".

I meant share a story about a time when you were prompted to become more independent; like why you became an entrepreneur, consultant or employee for instance. Or if you left home, why? What happened? Why the choice of more independence? Frustration? Drive to do good? Forced by circumstances?

Maybe I'll ask again but differently next time. I didn't think asking for the full story was trivial.
