I just attended a local entrepreneur fair and I have to say this was one of the most painful things I’ve had to sit through. Just about every speaker touted the phrase “You don't own your business, your business owns youâ€.
Wow, really?
They had local business owners talk about their experiences and how hard it is running a local business.
One owner said she had only taken a vacation twice in the last eleven years and she's constantly working weekends to finish paperwork. I can't believe anybody would be excited about this!
The slowlane mindset was almost unbearable!
Then a lady from the local chamber presented some business data that, to say the least, was out of date.
She was trying to sell people on creating businesses that are dying or already dead (e.g. local book store).
When I asked her about the fact that some of these businesses had already been here and had since closed, she obviously side stepped the question. After she spoke for awhile longer, I started to realize how out of touch these people really are.
Overall, this was a horrible experience. I can't believe that anyone could sit through a seminar like this and come out thinking, this is really what I want to do.
