WANT TO START AN INDEPENDENT BUSINESS? IF WE ARE SUCCESSFUL AND FINALLY NEED TO HIRE PEOPLE, OFTEN, FOR US CONSCIENTIOUS BUSINESS OWNERS, OUR ENERGY AND FOCUS TURN FROM GROWING AND MANAGING OUR BUSINESSES TO MAKING SURE THAT WE CAN KEEP OUR EMPLOYEES EMPLOYED. WHAT NOBODY TELLS US IS THAT WE NOT ONLY BECOME RESPONSIBLE FOR FEEDING AND CLOTHING AND HOUSING OUR EMPLOYEES (provided by our paying their salaries), BUT ALSO BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR DEPENDENTS.
