  It’s tough to be a small business owner in a economy where consumers don’t have the disposable income to spend at your small business

  “Owning” and “Running” a business is 2 different things

  The problem isn’t entrepreneurship it’s stupidity and a lack of financial sense

  It took 6 years of working my full time job and running my business before I was able to go full time in my business. Now instead of one boss, I have a dozen bosses at any given time. 😂

  My uncle owned a successful cleaning company for 25yrs. He also made some good BBQ. He belived everyone&apos;s &nbsp;hype about the BBQ. After Six months and $100k he gets the doors open. It went good for 3 months. He didn&apos;t know sh!t about running a restaurant. The BBQ wasn&apos;t as good as he thought. Just because you can run one kind of business, that doesn&apos;t &nbsp;mean you can run a different kind of business

  They really thought running a business was sweet. You don’t clock out when you own a business. You’re locked in 24/7.

  If you found a hack to make 5k a month, you&apos;re not going to tell other people and create competition.

  I own a small specialized technology business. &nbsp;We started in 2006 and have been profitable every year since the beginning. &nbsp;No debt. &nbsp;No government contracts. &nbsp;Very low employee turnover because they are well-treated and well-compensated. &nbsp;We survived through two recessions and there were occasionally times when I could not pay myself anything because the employees and the vendors always get paid first. &nbsp;If there was nothing leftover for me, I didn&apos;t get paid. &nbsp;During 2008-10 there were plenty of times I spent all day and night working in a small office to keep the business alive. &nbsp;It was difficult, but it all paid off. &nbsp;Over the years I and my employees have done very well for ourselves. &nbsp;Business is difficult, and it&apos;s not for everyone. &nbsp;There is a lot of advice I could offer a prospective entrepreneur (if anyone asked) but if I had to pick just one thing it would be this: before you start any business, first go and work for an existing business in that field for two years. &nbsp;No matter what it is, get to know that business from the inside before you start one of your own.
