You Can Take the Girl Out of the Small Business…

Written on January 19, 2012 by admin

Sometimes I think about what I’d do if I had unlimited funds and didn’t have to work. Would I be able to close down Egg and enjoy a life of leisure? I can’t see it, no matter how hard I try.

I love what I do. I love being a business owner, especially as my business has started doing better and better over the years. I love that each day brings possibility: a new client, a new partnership, new knowledge.  I check my email incessantly simply because exciting things happen via email.

If I worked for someone else, naturally I’d want to quit if I were filthy rich. If I did something I didn’t enjoy, I would consider closing down shop. But the truth is, running my business is part of who I am. I identify with being an entrepreneur as much as I identify with being a mother and wife. So if I took that away…I would probably start another business.

What about you? Are you so passionate about what you do that you’d keep doing it even if you didn’t need money?
