staying encouraged

     Being in business for ones self is something that I suspect many dream about.  I feel fortunate to own Renshaw Music and every time I write a check to one of the independent contractors that work for me it gives me a sense of satisfaction that I am having a part is someone else taking care of their families.  A big part of my motivation to grow the company is to support the American economy and to help individuals support their families and improve their standard of living.  I also have two sons and having this enterprise to leave to them gives me great satisfaction.
      It is not east to stay encouraged though when you are a one man show.  Working a job for someone else would be a much easier lifestyle.  With the business it is hard to clock yourself out.  when I was a teacher part of my time after school was spent grading papers, planning music selections for my band, etc. but this is much harder.  The secret I think is to keep focusing on the long term goals above.  Life is short and I think I am taking the higher road so I choose to press ahead.
