The most exciting thing about starting and owning your own business is Freedom. Freedom from someone else, telling us what time to check in, what to do, when to do it, and how much we will get paid. Being an entrepreneur is Freedom, however; it takes a lot of work to get to a place where we really feel that Freedom since we put so much time, sweat and energy into making our business what we want it to be.

We started this company with our own money. No loans, no credit cards and no investors. We keep our overhead low because we don’t need to spend unnecessary money. I have witnessed some new business owners who go out and rent office space they don’t need, with money they don’t have. Hire employees they don’t need and can’t afford because they think it makes them look legitimate. Most of today’s entrepreneurs are smart. They work out of their home office, have a PO Box or other mailing address and keep everything simple.
