Local business changes lives, impacts communities and drives economic development, but entrepreneurship has its risks. I wouldn't have it any other way.

I love small business because this the kind of business that I may enjoy. Less headaches, less attachments and helpful for my family.

Great point, Ti (and Heather). There is usually someone you can access who has been there before who would be willing to share their experiences. I know I love to share with those who are just starting out.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the post and, of course, for sharing it with the BizSugar community. I think the need to prove yourself on your own is definitely an important motivation for a lot of entrepreneurs. Also, having no feedback but your customers is the real challenge here. It's a very different kind of feedback then you have from an employer or supervisor. Finding your own way instead of relying on an approach tested by others is the hard part here.

I agree, Heather. It can be difficult to find your way when you're the one running the business. That's why it's important to me to have mentors to give me feedback. I also like to study people and businesses who are similar to mine to see what they've done and what's worked for them. It's always easier to follow someone elses footprint.
