Owning your own business is not for everyone.

There are ups and downs. Joys and heartaches. Wins and losses. Ebbs and flows of income.

There have been moments when I was unsure when the next paycheck would arrive (it’s happened more often than I’d like to admit). And although there seems to be an endless number of opportunities, I suspect most are distractions disguised as opportunities (making investment decisions difficult). Plus this year I’m taking on some massive projects (for my business) that are exciting yet quite scary.

Despite all this, I feel more blessed than ever to do what I do.

Today is Independence Day in the United States; something that was achieved with struggles and battles. But of course, in the end, it was worth it.

Today I am also celebrating my work-independence. It’s not always easy, but I can’t imagine working any other way.

Happy Independence Day to all of my entrepreneur friends!!
