When people find out about my web development company, Web Logic Now, they sort of look at me like I’m an alien. At 23 years of age, it catches people off guard and I suspect they’re not sure how to react or what question to ask next. I usually relieve the silence with a short blurb about the company as if to say, “I’m not crazy. This is a legit business and I’m passionate about it.” I might say something about why I like the lifestyle in an attempt to help them see what I’m all about. But why do I feel the need to defend the choice to start my own business?
Well, today I thought of the ultimate explanation to why I’m an entrepreneur. It allows me to achieve by my own inspiration.
That’s it. When you boil it down, people start their own ventures because working for yourself means you can be self-guiding. You can follow your own principles – the principles you’re passionate about and make you unique. Can I get a witness?
