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.
