You see, I think the trade-off (to lose something in return of gaining something) of owning your own business is that you have more control of your business. Sure there are a lot of things, many almost overwhelming at times that might fall through the cracks (to be forgotten; to fail) and the burn out rate (physical or mental exhaustion) is quite high. But, if you’re like me, you don’t want to miss the boat (miss an opportunity) so you’ll do everything in your power to land on your feet (to do well; to succeed).
