Mom has turned on her heel, and we’re out of there. All I’m left to do is flash an apologetic look back towards Ms. R.Why are you doing what you are doing? Why did you choose the business you are in? Many people in the service industries have a sense that they are here for a purpose, and they want to serve that purpose. You might not know clearly what you are serving, but you are driven by ‘something’.Take a moment now to think about what inspired you to start your own business. Was it the freedom?
