I answered the ad which offered me two choices: Entry level management, or receptionist position. While the receptionist position, while it seemed to be the easier option (and I?ve been used to try to take the easy route when it was possible.), my instinct opted for the management position. Why not take a shot at owning my own business? I felt like there were times I could do better than my boss in other jobs.
The training program, while at first was a little more work than I was used to, made sense. I learned how to run my own business from the ground up, from marketing, training others how to market, how to manage others (and myself),and the administrative work such as the inventory and accounting. When you?re the boss, you have to do more than an employee. But with great responsibility comes great rewards.
I see people from all walks of life, people you?d never guess as business owners. I?m amazed at their success, and how ordinary (with some extraordinary qualities like work ethic, optimism) people calling their own shots. Why not me?
