See? It is still the primary motivation for people starting their own businesses, not so much to get out of a crummy job...
but more often...
to GET AWAY from
crummy people.
Which is why the Biz-Op field will be forever green.

Hi Gordon,
I think you're right...
There is a certain group of people who really dislike being an employee. They hate having a boss... They like to "row their own boat"!
I have this tendency in myself...
If you can survive through your own sweat and ingenuity - so much the better!
It's not necessarily easy... But the more you learn, and the more experience you have, the easier it eventually gets...
(One recommendation I would give is... if you haven't "made it" yet, it can help a lot to have an experienced mentor!)
Thanks for sharing your findings, Gordon!
Best wishes,
Dien
