Welcome to Unlikely Choices! I’m Stacy, the former lawyer turned jewelry designer, and I am so glad you’re here! If you want to quit your job and start your own business like I did, you've found the right place! In today's episode, I share three personality traits you need to be a successful business owner. I used to think anyone could start their own business if they just had the passion and the heart, but after eight years of small business ownership, I no longer feel that way. I think you need to be built a certain way or else the business ownership journey is not going to be a happy one for you. And that's ok! The goal is to have a realistic picture of small business ownership so that you can make an educated decision on whether it's the right path for you. And if it's not, that only means there is a better path out there for you. So tune in, get honest with yourself, and perhaps do a little journaling after the episode about the pros and cons of potential business ownership as it relates to you.
