I come from a family of entrepreneurial spirits, and yet I envisioned a career in the corporate world as I received my degrees. That corporate involvement was short-lived, as it turns out, and I gladly embraced being at home with my children.
This change of life course gave ready rein to the entrepreneurial blood in my veins. And now I see it is the best way for me. No wonder the term “home-based entrepreneurial mom” coined by my friend in response to my plea for help in defining what I “do” seems so apt. Being in business for myself is a good fit for me.
But so, also, is not being in business by myself. No, I don’t mean a business partner. I mean the backing of a multi-million dollar infrastructure headed by the best business man I’ve known. My business model offers this, and I am certainly grateful. Perhaps my initial leanings toward the corporate life are reflected in the appeal of this business model to me.
I’m in business for myself, but not by myself, and it is a great place to be.
