It’s no secret that more and more people are starting their own businesses, but what is it about entrepreneurship that makes so many of us want to leave our 9-5 jobs and strike out on our own? I believe the answer lies in one word: ownership. When you’re your own boss, there’s a sense of empowerment from having complete control over your destiny. You get to be creative with how you manage your business, the products or services you provide customers, and how much money you make. In short – with ownership comes a sense of personal responsibility for everything in life. Dale Schwartz goes into on how a sense of ownership inspired him to start his own business.
Dale Schwartz owns Speed-Lamps, and Pro Touring Store, where they build automotive inspired furniture and decor, and provide parts and accessories for the Pro touring community. His key takeaways are listed below.
- Take ownership in what you do and be responsible
- Create a plan and take action. Don’t be scared to make that leap of faith.
- Keep Pushing forward and filter out the noise.
