You spend endless hours starting your own business, building up your bank account to buy equipment, figuring out a suitable marketing plan, and running the show every day. Life-sapping hours, overtime hours, you spend working your fingers to the bone in an attempt to run things smoothly. As time goes on, computers have to be replaced, employees have to be trained, and office supplies must be bought. All in all, your time is not your own. On top of that, you miss some of the most cherished moments in life.
Children grow up, move out, graduate from college, get married, and have babies.
Your grandchildren do the same. Even your spouse changes in small ways. Life passes you by, leaving you tired, sweaty, and breathless. You don't have time to take your well-deserved vacation. You can't spend quality time with your family.
