Hello and welcome to the career canvas podcast.
In this special episode I'm going to be introducing a new type of guest , the small business owner. To a large extent, these brave entrepreneurs lead a large part of the economy. Most of us deal with plumbers, electricians, designers and entertainers consistently, but often these professionals don't start as an entrepreneur and that's the story we're painting. What does it mean to run a small business? What are some of the challenges or opportunities you might not have thought about? How did you end up running this business? What was the point where you decided not to be an employee anymore? How did you enter this industry?
Some small business owners had lifelong ambitions of entrepreneurship. Others turned their hobby into a business yet others enter it from a personal feeling of necessity because it can't imagine the world without their contribution. Some were employees and decided they could do better or maybe just didn't want a boss anymore.
Often these business owners are important contributors to their community.
Their stories are fascinating, inspiring, and show an important part of the industry that is often overlooked in college.
After a year of highlighting employees, it's time to explore the next area of industry and those industries which sometimes are only possible through the small business owner and the hustle they embody.
Enjoy the ride and peace out.
