Other Added - Being a Small Business Owner and Still Having a Life
A couple years ago I took a step that I never thought would turn out as well as it has. A friend of mine turned me on to a site called CafePress which allows every day schmucks like me to design t-shirts and gifts, upload them to their site and then pays money based on markups that are set by the user. I had tried selling t-shirts in th

If you are a small or home based entrepreneur or a solo business owner, there is little room in your business for taking a sick day when a crisis or stressful life event happens. In today's world our lives are complex, fast paced, and challenging. How do you keep your business going and growing during the times when life happens and
If you have your own business and it is successful, at some point you must be asking; “Is this all there is?” Most entrepreneurs started their business to accomplish three things:
1. Improve their quality of life
2. To be free & independent
3. To be in control of their personal & financial destiny
What happened? In order to be successful, you had to be tied to the business.
But it’s ok. You are a smart, hard-working, talented person. After all, you started a business and have kept it afloat. Everything, and I mean everything, depends on you. You don’t really have a business. You have a job from which you can never be fired. You are “Super entrepreneur”.
If you are like most business owners, you work 10-12 hour days, skip lunch twice a week, work every other Saturday and an occasional Sunday. Vacations, if they exist, are very hard to schedule and keep the business running. Some business owners simply close their doors in order to get a vacation. All the while the overhead continues. This forces them to work harder when they get back and to avoid vacations in the future.
How can you change an entrepreneur from being his own employee to being the business owner? Do not start with the business. It is not the business that is the problem; it’s the owner. You opened the doors without any idea of the life you wish to have or a business that would support that life. You are the biggest problem and the best solution to changing your business.
The most important product an entrepreneur can create is a great business. The goods and services delivered to customers are merely tools the owner uses to design a business that will continue after he is gone, and pay him just because he created it.
The process begins with getting focused. But, what are focused on? Are you focused on the never ending problems, obstacles, and crises that dominate your business? Or are you focused on a strategic personal and business plan that will build a life, rather than just a career?

Is it possible to franchise our world and every nation and government will be under one umbrella? Sure it is, but it might take a while. Recently I had this conversation with a fellow thinker.
