I’m actually on my 3rd business right now. I absolutely love the thrill and excitement of creating a product or service that people love and then implementing the systems/processes to make the business work. It’s challenging and tiring, but I love it!

Startup 2 months ago

I have had a deep desire to start a business for the last 5 years. Work is okay, however I’ve always had a resentment for management and the decisions they make. My chief motivators for starting a business:

1. Ownership. Ability to make important decisions and have ownership of those results.

2. Money. I don’t care too much about recognition, but would like to be well compensated for being able to do my job well.

3. Risk taking. I enjoy the excitement and adrenaline rush. It keeps my mind sharp and spirits high. The thought of working 9-5 for the rest of my life is not appealing at all.

4. Greatness. Be able to make a difference in the world. Right now I’m just a small cog in the corporate machine.
