I, too, sincerely appreciate your honesty. I learned a long time ago that one thing I would never want to do is run my own business — for all of the reasons you stated in this honest article.

I’m very happy to work for a large government agency, do everything in my power, from where I sit, to affect change and have a positive impact, and then to collect a known paycheck (except when I have to work through a furlough) every two weeks.

I have nothing but admiration for those of you who do have your own business going. Especially the honest ones, like yourself.
