At this time in my life, I am still having the itch to be an entrepreneur. I have to say my biggest challenge is the time commitment required to own a business. As a single mother, right now the 40 hour week seems much better in terms of the amount of time I can have with my kids rather than a commitment to owning a business.

It’s refreshing to hear someone say that. We are a society of itch-scratchers. If we have the slightest inkling to do something, we can’t restrain ourselves. At least until very recently, ours has not been a culture of postponing anything until the right time. We dive in whether we have the long-term resources, reserves and backup plans. We forget there are only 24 hours in a day and that it’s perfectly okay, in fact laudable, to work at a regular job, nine to five, with vacation and benefits. And take care of our kids. Not everyone should be in their own business.
