Once you undertake the development of a business you utilize a variety of entrepreneurial skills. You find yourself working hard to keep things going, but theres a real sense of satisfaction in the work.
Recently I was told of a woman who had started her twenty-first business. In each case the business was related to cooking. The good news was this woman was a capable businesswoman and an excellent cook.
The problem for this woman was that she got tired of running a business very easily. She would get a business established and grow weary of the day-to-day grind and would set a date to close the doors. Her husband was a carpenter and had systematically refurbished twenty separate properties for his wifes business ventures.
This woman recently started a coffee shop with a variety of baked goods for sale. The business hadnt been open 3 months when a separate coffee shop opened in the same retail complex. When she discovered the new business she threw her hands up in despair and asked the owner of the second shop if she could come to work for her.
