In end, only one who can let you down is you. To be sure you’ll be facing a lot of hard work. Overseeing store, calling all shots, sales, marketing, answering phones, taking orders and like but, there’s no feeling like total sense of freedom you’ll enjoy by owning your business.

The feeling of this kind of freedom can be overwhelming as few get to experience it. A word of caution here – don’t let euphoric feeling you’re having lull you into a false sense of security. Your schedule must be rigid, you must be driven to succede, and you must not let your defeats get best of you. Listen to those around you who have succeeded – they have already paid their dues in time and money so, doesn’t try to re-invent wheel.

In closing and probably most important thing for you to have is belief – a belief in what you’re doing and why you’re doing it, a belief in your products or service, and a belief in yourself. I can believe in you all day long but if you don’t believe in yourself then my friend, race is over before it’s begun.

Keep focused on your future, your hopes, your dreams, and what you want to accomplish. Let nay Sayers have their piece just don’t let it deter you from path you’ve chosen for yourself for success is at hand and today can truly be best day of rest of your life.

I've found difference between people who are winning at working and people who aren't, is difference between passing another year at work and gaining another year of work experience. Those who build their experience build their futures. And, you can build experience without changing jobs.

Building experience is about depth, diversity, challenges and learning you gain by offering best of who you are at work. It's about seizing and creating opportunities. And it's about continual self-improvement and constant self-feedback.

You know you're gaining experience when you problem solve your own mistakes; learn to use knowledge building blocks to handle more complex issues; make contributions more valuable than year before; acquire new skills by venturing outside a comfort zone; embrace new ideas or technologies; or recognize you don't know as much as you thought you did as you begin to see a bigger picture.

People who try new things, push envelope, pitch ideas, offer innovative problem solving, take accountability, and never stop learning and making a difference, are people gaining experience and building their work future.
