The best lesson I've learned, as a small business owner, is that you need to work on your business,
as much as working in your business. I get to make the decisions on how many hours I
work, and I'm a terrible workaholic. I get to hire the people I want to hire, do the
marketing the way I want to do it. In 2002, I was laid off for the first time
after working in health care IT for 31 years. I found another position with a software development
company and five months later, I was laid off again. I decided that I would buy my own
business, and that was the best thing I've ever done.
At a Nashville seminar, I met Danny Ernoffk With Friendnet. He said "I know the exact
place that can help you", and I was introduced to Guidant Financial. They made it so easy
for me. We did everything over the phone. I never had to meet with anybody. Packages
were shipped to me directly. I had interviews with attorneys on the phone. We talked about
what my goals were, how much I wanted to initially finance by business with.
They walk you through the entire process of buying a business. They make sure that you
are set up for success. You're in business for yourself, but you're not buy yourself.
That's the great thing about Guidant Financial.
