Independence: it’s been a goal of Americans for over 230 years.
Entrepreneurs are particularly independent.
We throw off bosses like the colonists threw off the king.
No matter how risky starting a business seems, to us it’s the route to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
While we started our companies to be independent, did we lose that freedom along the way?
Have we allowed ourselves to become subjects of the petty demands of our businesses?
Take some time this holiday weekend to contemplate why you do…what you do.

I do what I do so I can be home with my daughter. :) It helps that I love what I do, as well.
