The Show Must Go On

I am honored to know so many people who have turned their lives around and decided to become a small business owners. Getting to know the Small Business Communty Network (SBCN) Members inspires me to know I can do it, during those tough times when we struggle with so many challenges in our lives.

It's tough being a business owner, and often many of us have to take care of the majority of the work involved running our businesses.

You know that saying - "when the going gets tough, the tough get going", well I can say for sure that being a small business owner and knowing the SBCN Members as I do, we certainly know how to keep on going.

There is that choice to give up and walk away when struggles enter our lives, but we don't give up, we find ways to deal with the challenges in our lives and carry on, the show must go on, as they say. I too have endured many challenges, but the most serious one was the one that motivated me to return to school and start my first business, Motivational Steps. That challenge was breast cancer for the second time, a double mastectomy in fact, but I returned to school only a few months after the operation and worked on building my confidence again, by turning my challenge into something positive.
