Owning your own business is really a crazy place to live. The ups and downs in an eight hour day are unreal. Just this week in one hour we quoted a million dollar a year for 10 years job and found out we had 2,000 questionable parts out in the field! No time to celebrate, just keep moving fast! Often this roller coaster takes over your life 24/7 but we can discuss that some other time!

Different groups in the region do things to support Business Owners/Entrepreneurs by having seminars or bringing in speakers. On two separate occasions Rock Valley College and the Rock River Valley Entrepreneurship Center have brought Barry J. Moltz to speak to Rockford. His first book was “Crazy About Business, Insane for Success”, Hearing him speak about the craziness of owning your own business was great! He is funny but right on. I really recommend his information to anyone that does that for a living or wants to do that for a living!

A more recent book “Bounce ” has helped him to get on to the Donny Deutsch show The Big Idea.

I just found out he has started a show about business on blogtalk radio. You can hear it at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/bjmoltz. It is short but encouraging to anyone that has taken that step to business ownership or wants to do it. ENJOY!
