Summary: Entrepreneurs often joke that they are unemployable. After being your own boss for a while, it’s very difficult, if not downright impossible, to be an employee. True to entrepreneurial characteristics, I spontaneously recorded this extra episode to acknowledge that I started my first company thirty-two years ago and I never seriously wanted to have a J.O.B. – a job working for another business owner since. Entrepreneurship is not for everyone and is not always planned or comes about in a way that you’d expect! In my case, my first business was started after my employer declared bankruptcy and I needed a quick means to support my family, as the primary breadwinner. I took the challenge on thinking it would just be temporary - twenty years later I had built an 8-figure business and was winning business awards in major categories. How did that happen? I had decades of experience from helping to grow other peoples’ business and without being aware of it, I was accumulating the skills, knowledge, resources, and confidence to build my own business. Would I have eventually started my own business if the paychecks kept flowing? Would I have walked off the plank of employment on to the deck of my own entrepreneurship? Listen to this episode and draw your own conclusions.
