"My parents were civil servants" My dad was in small business. I picked this type of thing up when I was old enough to understand what he was saying. He used to play guessing games of "why did I do this" that could last hours until I had thought of the reasons why he did what he did. I had to come up with all of the reasons why he did something. Importantly as a small business person he only had to answer to his customers and I guess employees. Plus he could gauge the risk in the chances that he would take and make decisions on the fly w/o being second guessed by anyone or told that he was wrong. That freedom is really really important because if you don't have that it will restrict the creative juices quite a bit.
