Do you own a business or do you own a job?

Do you own a business or do you own a job? It’s an important question every small business owner must answer. The vast majority of small business owners THINK they own their own business, but just the opposite is true.

Here’s how to tell if you REALLY own your own business.

  1. Do all business decisions need to be made by you because you tried letting other people make their own decisions and things just got messed up?

  2. When people call your business, do they ask for you by name and are immediately connected to you?

  3. If you walked away from your business today, would it start to unravel within a matter of weeks?

If you answered yes to ANY of these questions, you don’t own a business, your business owns you.

When you own a businesses and not just a job, it has people in it who are just as serious about its success as you are. And it has systems that are self-sustaining, delivering high-quality work every time, whether you are there or not.

Sound too good to be true? It’s not. This kind of business is the real American Dream!
