At the beginning, I kept my day job as a teacher and then after two or three years, I started working part-time at the business and part-time elsewhere. Then, I started working almost exclusively at our business--it's been 12 years now but there are STILL times when I yearn for a steady paycheck. It takes persistence, perseverance, creativity, faith, and a good product or service to keep on going. And, if your business grows, then you have to adapt. But, it gives a lot in return, even if it's not always financial wealth. We have our freedom and the opportunity to create something. But, our business is challenging. We own a computer and network repair business so it's like running an ER in a hospital. People usually call when there are problems and last night on Valentine's was no exception so DH was working on a server down situation until 2 am. (So, we celebrated with a special Valentine's breakfast this am. See blog.) But, I'm writing to let you know that indeed, especially if you feel that your husband's business holds promise, it's probably worth it to follow the dream and subscribe to Entrepreneur or Inc. magazine.
