Follow Your Own Rules

Rosemarie Certo Highlight

I think you define success by, for define success by being living by loving what you do every day. you could earn a living and, on 10,000. no one can live on 10,000, whatever. levels of earning a living. earning a living by loving and to make more money or anything else, who's doing something more than you. all else doesn't matter. >> [LAUGH] gonna try to take you down, but everyday, that's all that matters. 

Success

All Else Doesn't Matter

When you were teaching and way and just see if you liked it. you knew that you couldn't do it anymore, that wasn't in teaching? I knew that it wasn't that. the second year I knew I had to. the second year and another teacher and another day, another dollar. [LAUGH] my God is this, it was like scary. I would say that as I walked to the car. but I do know what I wanted to do. >> Yeah. that you have no idea because then you well, what am I gonna do? and I love doing it. and why did I leave that and join, partner make the beer, cuz at the time that's how we started. was, this could be a real challenge for I can sell it all over the world. it's beyond just, I'm brewing it, into it was a potential that it held. I would have a bigger challenge. stop being a challenge, thing with teaching. information the second year? is like a new challenge. scratching any surface but, I do wanna do a business expansion. if it doesn't, I'm still very, what I love to do every day. a living, I live. that to me is a real, real treat. 

Another Day Another Dollar

Oh my goodness, hi! >> Nice to meet you, come inside. I graduated with a literature and I taught for two years. teaching is probably the most there is in the world, done it I was already done with it. I didn't do it the third year. industrial photography and the same attitude towards food that I did. we would entertain a lot of our friends. a sudden somehow we started home brewing. that deserved a simple answer. good American beers. we started really a naive way of thinking, thoughts come out of just a desire, you have is gonna really drive that. 

A Simple Answer

When you first started this business with your friend. this counter cultural business or oh it's fun we get to party. was your partner a woman as well? >> So, >> He was a business partner and like a counter culture. a revolutionary, hippie. were thinking the way most other I grew up in a Catholic household. the strength that was in me. she would throw her hands in her hair and you're not gonna go to church, mean you believe in x, y or z? empowered me to have my own thoughts and that comes from my feeling about teachers. of the way I think. really allows people, allow thought and creativity to come in. for someone else telling you why why don't you try to manufacture that. segment, is all about thought and representing a different lifestyle. says it's quality not quantity. contributes to America's economic and makes me very, very proud. 

Culture

Believe in X or Y or Z

I think that what I'm doing is being an alchemist. other people happy. my dream or someone else's dream? you're making something. brings people pleasure. 

Community

I Want To Realize My Dream

I'm not just here making money, if I was in another industry. it's through a gustatory experience, but mostly it's to please myself. with my hands I love to do it. years think of myself as working, I love to work, and I'm always working. in the normal sense. know just hate their jobs. gonna be in this job one more year, high powered executive jobs. then I'm gonna take off a year and that they're really gonna not like. would not find what is their spend most of our lives working. 

Finding Your Passion

When I look at women entering the job force at the same rate and rate that men do, and to the top as quickly and far that they will let a woman go. many women in business now that you forge your own destiny. things a way a patriarchal society which then means you old same old that we have now. you're still not gonna make any change or forge your own way. any other ethnic group, Latinas, blacks, who are coming here in the US and to me that's a beauty of the US. wide open, that anyone could do it. really wanna do it bad enough and then it's possible. 

Hard Work

Discrimination

I grew up in a family in Sicily where my grandfather and from trees that they grew. then they brought it to the town you get extra virgin first. it was so vivid of fresh olives or trying to climb the olive trees and get down from there! picking grapes and then stomping on was saying, okay, it's time to leave now. in there stomping on grapes. then my uncle would be selling it. until much later, really played a part. I started by cooking, things with my hands and keep making things with your hands and 

Hobbies & Pastimes

Create & Sell

The whole world is in front of you and you can do whatever it is that you wanna do. it's also really exciting. opportunity you have. that, successful you have to do this and that. what it is that you want. what you want, then one way or a way to make it happen. 

Opportunity

Forging Your Destiny

I mean there are challenges. it's just human nature and why should that person succeed and them and they don't wanna feel that way that's why they're gonna knock you down.. challenges of business. really invest your whole psyche in it. worthwhile is really difficult. easy everybody would do it. passion do you have to make it work? 

Negativity

Struggle

How Much Passion?

If we had known ten years later what it would have taken to the pioneers, at the time there was just we probably would have never done it. can't do that we weren't financial people. so how do you do stuff like that? about what you all are gonna do, your gut tells you and not to worry. you don't know what you want to do cuz and you do have. is that you wanna do. it's also really exciting. 

The Unknown

What do you think of the idea that cuz you spoke, inherently kind of affects can do kind of like to find yourself, that it affects other people positively. everyone ideally should do? let themselves do that. people are not capable of being fulfilled. the road you wanna go? life without being fulfilled or yourself to the maximum? really do something that you enjoy, that you hate, it's just for money, that you can make money, about selling your soul. of yourself and the people around you. all human race here, and 

Selling Your Soul

I would say no, that you have to work hard to have any success, any kind of success. >> Cuz most people are afraid to take >> You're not unless you take chances. like, it is not the end of the world, work hard and take chances.
