The business doesn’t have to be down to have “highs and lows.” Sometimes the biggest kicks come when business is great – it might be from a customer, an employee or some other source (death of a family member, etc.) It is these times that, to me, it is hardest to keep on trucking. A network of other business owners/friends, who have experienced the joys and disappointments, are a wonderful resource.

Bob, there is a group you can share with, other business owners you are especially close to, mentors, coaches. It is healthy to share your lows and not bear them alone. You just have to select the group wisely.

Carrie, sounds like you’ve made a wise decision for YOU!

Thanks so much for your comments!

This is exactly why I am not an entrepreneur! Who needs the ulcers? My dad owned his own business and all he did was work. It seemed like he didn’t have a life. I want to enjoy mine.

I’ve owned my own business for years. I’ve experienced this roller coaster and I do keep the lows to myself. Who benefits from hearing that you are in a crunch? People want to do business with winners. Never let them see you sweat.
