He shrugged his shoulders and toyed with the closely shaved hair at his temples, the only hair remaining on his otherwise balding skull. "You're sharp, a great writer, great creative guy. You've led teams here a number of times and people seem to like you." My dread turned to confusion, even mild irritation. "Start my own business? How? I don't have any real savings, I don't manufacture anything, I don't know the first thing about running a company " I stopped as Frank put up his hand to interrupt.
