Owning your own business in the past was something that a lot of of our grandparents considered to be a dream. If one had a store of their own then they were looked upon as a steady person, maybe not well off but okay etc. That business owner became a corner stone of the village or township and even if they had to put in long hours and hard work they were somebody.
For the last few decades that dream of becoming a store or business owner has become an accessible aim for more people than our grandparents could have ever thought promising. Unluckily it seems that for every ten new ventures being started at least eight go out of business before their third anniversary. There is more to it than just looking a spot, coming up with the first and last, purchasing equipment and some stock.
With the way the wealth sits at the moment jobs are being lost daily worldwide. And with such a high unemployment rate everywhere being a business or store owner has become more than just a dream. It is one of the main reasons why more people then ever are considering becoming self-employed and why they are ready to jump into entrepreneurship with two feet and devil may care attitudes. This from time to time desperation for work is what makes so many willing to place all they possess, all they can beg and borrow into a venture that unluckily seems to end in disaster more frequently then not.
