Running your own business is exciting, scary, confusing, fulfilling, and everything in between. Some battle hardened entrepreneurs spout stories of daring gambles that paid off big, unforeseeable misfortune that struck out of nowhere, and other polarizing tales. Unfortunately, this wide spectrum of emotion can cause people to form preconceived notions about what running their own business might look like. So who should you trust and how should you feel about the idea of starting something for yourself? If you’re wondering if going out on your own is right for you, here’s the truth behind running your own business…
