There are a lot of independent business owners out there who feel as though they have, neither a pot to pee in, nor window to throw it out of. The economic slow down is causing a great many business owners to go out in search of a part-time or even full time job, thus relegating their businesses to an “as able” status.

Truth be told, historically, this is the best time to start a business, and the worst time to have already been running one. Many of my friends are business owners, as makes sense in my profession, and the majority have found other jobs. One, however, recently contacted me and has decided to become lean. He was remembering the old days of his start-up, the fun he had with only a handful of reliable clients. We are currently restructuring his company to take him back to that stage, and it occurred to me that this may be an excellent solution for others too! His revenue is going to drop, but so will his overhead and expenses. I love the idea; it feels like tech going artesian, growth through getting smaller.

Did you go from being a business owner, to having your business own you? If so, I would love to hear your story, and share what you did with others. Please leave a comment.
