Do It Yourself

Business owners do a LOT by themselves.

In the name of saving money, self satisfaction, hobbies, you name it. My father and I spent three days fixing the upstairs toilet at our office. Why? Saves money. And my dad loves plumbing (he doesn't know why). We repair our own vacuums, repair our own cars (whenever possible). All in the name of saving some dough.

Is it being cheap? I dunno. Doesn't feel that way. I mean, when something gets too much for any of us here, we turn to a professional. Hell, I thought we'd have to do that with the toilet until we finally figured it out.

A business owner must be self sufficient and infinitely positive. He/she must be always ready to do a job that they don't want to do. They must be ready to solve problems, pay bills, and grow business. A business owner is the ultimate do-it-yourselfer in my opinion. Whether you're repairing a busted porcelain throne, or changing the oil in a company car, a business owner must be many things.

What do you think?
