Growing my business

I've learned a lot by being in business. But, it is hard work and only a few people are good at it. It is not for everyone. I didn't think it was for me, but at some level I didn't have any choice. Job opportunities become more scarce as we get older and everything chances in an instant.

After I lost my last job because of downsizing, I decided to start this business so that I could not be downsized. In 8 years of working at this, it has paid off. I'm not a millionaire, but I have a good life. 

Advice for others

 Keep a steady pace. If you pour it on too fast you burn out yourself and your resources. This is the reason for failure in most businesses - they want success too quickly and they end up bankrupt of money, energy, time, and resources.
