YOUR BUSINESS SELF EVALUATION
Once upon a time we had a dream to own our own businesses. It would offer protection from being terminated by unfeeling bosses; the ability to work when and where we wanted; liberty to do what we felt was right; and freedom from employers withholding money from our paychecks.
We were partially right! Now, instead of only 1 boss who can fire us, hundreds can quit purchasing! Yes, we get to work when and where we wanted – all the time and everywhere! Instead of minor paycheck deductions, we face huge bills from unemployment insurance, self-employment tax and health insurance, just to name a few! But as Americans, we are free to seek our fortune in the greatest country on the face of the God’s green earth.
