Granted, being a small business owner requires sacrifices and that can mean acting as your own accountant, office manager, sales rep, and everything in between. Eventually, however, the natural scope of a business will grow and the tasks at hand will become larger and more demanding; this is when it’s time to delegate. Those with the entrepreneurial spirit tend to be independent idealists with just a dash of stubbornness. Finding their calling by paving their own way to success, starting a business requires dedication and sacrifice.
