[quote=Anonymous]I left a profitable field in my forties because I wanted to be my own boss and do what I had dreamed of doing since I was a little kid. Well I don’t know if you have ever heard the expression that it’s the American dream to own your own business. Most small business owners I know will tell you it’s a nightmare. I know very few firm principals that are not completely stressed out. I do had plenty of capital - then the recession hit. Truly think through what is risk and what is risk mitigation ? What I didn’t count on was that when things got slow folks that had been in my new business since they were young hadn’t grown up with their colleagues and associates and they stuck together to make it through. I wish I was successful and it always feels like it’s one or two jobs away but frankly it’s a disaster. Think long and hard. There’s nothing romantic about small business.[/quote]
