Why are 91% of small-business owners so darned happy?
I love this article, and it's SO true!
A selection of interesting quotes from this article:
“Some 91% of the 1,290 business owners recently surveyed by the employee scheduling software maker Homebase said that they were happy with their jobs. Who are these happy people? And why are they so darned happy?”
“Those same clients of mine who complain, kvetch and carp? The fact is they wouldn’t have it any other way. Even with all these headaches, most wouldn’t have it any other way. They enjoy running their businesses. They would never go back to being an employee for someone else. Happiness is relative. And they’re relatively happy.”
“Why? It’s because of control.”
“Running a small business means having more options, more choices and more flexibility with one’s life. You can choose to work 20 hours a day or not. You can choose to work at 2am because you went to your kid’s soccer game that afternoon.”
