Chapters
Not in a million years would you tell me that I would be, one, running my own business, but then two, helping other people run their business. Cons? Yeah, so I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. There are some cons to starting your own business, especially from scratch. It's hard work building a business from scratch. Um, you really got to put in the, the hard work early. It's not just going to happen. Although we put all the systems and give you the knowledge, you still have to implement everything yourself. So you've got to put in the work early, but if you do that, the reward is there. So Although it's a con, it leads to bigger and better things. Coming from an employee-employer situation where you knocked off at a certain time and then you forgot about work, you didn't have to deal with that anymore. Being your own boss or running your own business, sometimes it can be hard to shut off. You're always worried about what you're going to do the next day, or, um, is that invoice being paid, the report being written. But at the same time, again, all those cons those things build to bigger and better things. So that's what we're actually doing this for. So you're not doing it in vain. There's a reason that you're doing it. The best decision I've ever made. So it's something I never thought I would do. I was working in a factory and not in a million years would you tell me that I would be one, running my own business, but then two, helping other people run their business. It's been the best decision, most rewarding decision I've ever made.
