When I was in my late teens, I decided to venture into uncharted territory and open my own limited liability company (LLC) for a business idea I had. 

I’m a horse lover and have tons of experience with them, so my business involved me going to birthday parties, local gatherings and other events with miniature horses and handling them for the enjoyment of the crowd. None of my immediate family or friends owned any businesses, so this was a steep learning curve for me. 

I ran my business for nearly three years. I decided to close my business when I was in college due to my busy course loads, but I don’t regret my time running it.
