Upside/Downside

Upside to owning your own business:

You're the boss so you can decide to cut out early on a Friday for your Mountain getaway.

Downside to owing your own business:

You don't. 

Ever.

For Melissa's Roadrace in Banff this year we were going to leave at noon on Friday.

Cut to Thursday when it became quite apparent that this was not going to happen amidst the estimates, car returns etc. crowding that day's schedule.

Even some major help from the Old Man {thanks btw} didn't get us out of town before 5.

I would say live and learn but I've learnt this lesson all too often.

I'll just keep being the optimist and plan accordingly.

The Ups and Downs

Upside to owning your own business:

When your childcare doesn't pan out you don't have a boss to tell you that you can't bring the kids to work.

Downside to owning your own business:

When your childcare doesn't pan out you don't have a boss to call in sick to so the kids have to come to work.
