I'm definitely in this camp: I quit a management-track job at a Fortune 50 a year and a half ago to teach business full-time. Finished a book (to be published December 30), have a full roster of consulting clients, an online course, and a few big licensing deals in the works.
I'm keeping the business small by design: I have absolutely no desire to manage/supervise the work of a large team - been there, done that, hated it. The maximum I'm willing to manage is a calling service and a part-time assistant, mostly to offload administrative work I'd rather not do.
I'd rather make a very good living and keep it simple (particularly with a child on the way) than spend my life compensating for the complexity that any huge operation inevitably has.
- route3 16y ago>>I'm keeping the business small by design Fantastic comment, thank you for taking the time to speak up. "Small by design" is exactly how I feel about starting a business. That last sentence is a great statement. Larger operations can be complex and at some point it you might wake up one morning and not look forward to managing your business. That is not what I want to happen.
