Just read this article/interview about a small Chicago pizza shop that stays small and limits their hours of operation even though they have the customer demand to expand or grow. It points out several of the great things about starting your own business:

  • You get to set your own hours. If time is precious to you, you get to make the decision about how much of it goes into your business.
  • You get to decide how much money is enough. If your business meets your profit objectives, then there is no one else out there you have to answer to.
  • You get to do something you love to do.
  • You get to be different than the chains, the other stores, everyone else.

Owning your own business can be one of the most freeing ways to live life your way. If you are thinking of taking control of your work life by owning a business, remember that you get to decide what qualifies as a success!
