Being Your Own Boss

Owning and running our own Tang Soo Do school has been a dream come true for myself and my family. It's been a great adventure, and the best part is the fact that we are our own boss.

Being your own boss is not easy! You must always motivate yourself, and make yourself go to work - but it's nice when you get to work because you are the boss that greets you when you get there.

Because we own our own business, we do get to spend a lot of time with our family members. My husband and I cringe when we think back to when we had traditional jobs. Rude coworkers, mean bosses, and inadequate owners. It was so hard for both of us to justify spending more time with these other people than with our own children. We both knew we couldn't survive working for someone else for very long.

Spending time with our family is the most important priority in our lives. When we began to consider starting our own karate school, I remember saying to each other, "This is going to work out somehow!" We just knew that this was the path that God had was leading us toward. We just had to put our faith in Him as always, and trust God to bless us with what we needed.

Everything has worked out on a positive note, and we are happier than ever. We never miss the rat race, or the mean people we used to work for.

Always follow your dream. If you can dream the possibility, you can achieve the possibility.
