We Are Not The Same

If you're reading this it means you run a business. This is weird behavior. Most people are content working for a boss.

Had a flashback to a time, almost 20 years ago, when some guy asked me: 'I don't get it. You're not making that much money, so why would you run your own business? Why not just go work for a boss?'

This was long ago. I was NOT doing well. To be completely honest with you, I was broke as a joke and that very same question had come to mind for me as well.

Why do I do this? Why not just go work for a boss?

To this day I can't really give you a solid answer. If you have a great answer to the question of: "Why do you want to work for yourself instead of a boss, assuming you'd make similar money?", please reply to this email and tell me. Because I'd love to know.

Best thing I managed to come up with? You and I are just built different.

People that enjoy working for a company and getting a salary or on one side of the fence. You and I are on the other side of the fence. And neither of us wants to switch sides.

It's all good. You have to be a little different to start a business, run a business, go through the entire adventure from start to (eventually) finish.

Running a business ain't easy but we still do it day in and day out.

So in this awesome Friday... I salute you!

Talk soon,
