Almost Recession Proof



http://www.business-opportunities.biz/2009/04/27/for-misspoop-business-is-good/

One of the points the article missed is that I have been in business for seven plus years. I actually cannot believe it has been that long and that my interest is ever growing. Years before starting MissPoop, I read all the books on finding your passion and the money will follow. I understood, but felt that you had to have good financial backing and a huge safety net before even allowing yourself the luxury of starting a business you would enjoy.

That's not true. It's not always comfortable being near the edge as I am sometimes financially, but it is a choice I made. There was no backing or safety net, just sheer desperation, tempered with the "do what you love" mantra. Only in the past few years do I breath more easily at night and don't worry over money (as much). I lost it all once or twice before, so my motivation is very strong to keep everything running efficiently and successfully.

More later - just keep in mind that hard work, motivation and a great sense of humor can take you a long way. If you are not laughing on the way to the bank, at least you're laughing.
