I wish my family and friends understood that being a business owner is very different then being an employee. Employees eat based on the exchange of time for value, the boss only eats when they produce a favorable result and after all of the employees are fed, rent, E&O and affiliation fees are paid. Then we can have a pice of chicken, two pieces during a good quarter.
