If you would have asked me five years ago if I wanted to own my own business, I would have said “HELL no, I don’t want to own my own business!” I was just fine running other people’s businesses while receiving a salary, sick time and vacation time. I liked the idea of having security…something I could count on.
Until 2009, when the economic downturn rewrote the rules about what security meant. Within months of getting to lay myself off and everyone else at the company I worked for, I found myself starting my own business out of popular demand. I had been a nonprofit executive, but what folks seemed to want most from me at that point in time were my graphic facilitation skills. So a business was born! And I have to say: now that I’ve been running my graphic facilitation business for the last four years, I can’t possibly imagine doing anything else! I LOVE running my own business, working with amazing clients and bringing visions to life…theirs and my own.
(Plus, now that I hired my very first employee this year, I’m a JOB CREATING BUSINESS OWNER! And I gotta tell you, that’s a mighty fine feeling!)
So, do you want to own your own business but aren’t quit ready to take the leap? Need to make your small business vision a tangible reality? Why not draw a Good Enou small business of your very own? Here’s how:
