For so many people say if Max can do it, then what is my excuse.<br> My primary business is helping people sell new and used amusement equipment and related items. I started after the early death of my father lead to the closure of my family’s small traveling carnival.<br> While building that business, I had to learn many things including how to hand code html, start a blog, record videos, use social media including Pinterest, build an email list, recruit clients, write ad copy, generate email newsletters, and much more.<br> About two years ago my friends persuaded me that i had more to offer and should be sharing my story of inspiration. I disagreed, but they made the argument that there are far too many people in the world with no physical disability who are doing nothing with their lives. Once convinced of this, I started a second website where I share my more personal stories about being a blind entrepreneur. I am now proud to be an inspiration to others and have since become internationally known as The Blind Blogger.<br> You can <a href="http://www.theblindblogger.net" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">find out more about me by clicking here</a>.<br> <br> About Adriana Gavazonni<br> <br> My name’s Adriana Gavazzoni and I’m a lawyer and professor of law.
