What’s in it For You As a Business Owner?
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010
I always ask my clients and people I come across in life that are in business, why? What motivates you to want to be under all that stress of running a business? What’s your motivation for you entering into this world of business? I find all kinds of answers both great and puzzling. I get the opportunity to understand people better and how and what motivates them, could it be for some financial freedom, or for some the opportunity to be part of something and the most common answer I hear is I don’t want to work for someone else. What a great answer for all of them as I look back and engage in conversation with them. I get the opportunity to travel a lot and speak at seminars across the country and meet all different walks of life. What a true blessing. There are so many people and business owners out there we will never have the chance to meet and I feel honored every time I get that chance to talk it up with someone I have never meet. I want to talk in this article about what it means for us to be in business, what’ in it for you. You need to ask yourself some of these key questions before entering business, why are you doing this? What is the driving motivation for you to start a business, how you have some sort of tragic episode in your life that you just decided to throw in the towel on your 9-5 and become part this movement in our country that seems to be sweeping the nation.
