Why do people start their own small business? Maybe because they’re bored of living the corporate life, or want to be their own boss, or they have a killer idea they want to execute, etc. etc. But, why do people run small businesses?
I've heard a lot of answers to this question – passion, a wish to provide a service, making people happy, and so on. You know what I say to that? Bull! I know it’s great PR stuff and all the big economists say you should run a business with the ultimate goal of providing customer satisfaction and all that, but who are you kidding really? You run a small business because above all you want to make profits, and so does everybody else.
