You’re in the mall, passing the pet shop.
You look over and see the cutest, most adorable, playful little pup you’ve ever seen. It’s looking right at you.
You walk over to the window. It’s so fluffy and sweet. It has big brown liquid eyes that melt your heart.
You walk into the store and ask about it. The sales person lets you hold it and tells you that you were made for each other. You’re hooked.
Off you go with your new full-time responsibility. Although, at the time you walked out of the store, you didn’t think of it quite that way.
The problem is that you don’t have a clue what to do with this pup once you get it home. You don’t know anything about its background. You don’t know how to train it. You have no idea what to expect.
It cries all the time. You’re up three times every night taking it out. The kids could care less about taking care of it. Your furniture is chewed to pieces, your shoes are ruined and the neighbors are considering suing you because it won’t stop barking.
Your house is a mess. You’re ready for a nervous breakdown. Your adorable little puppy is now your worst nightmare.

So we take off our corporate hats, put on our entrepreneur’s hat and “presto” we’re business owners.
Why on earth would we do it?
