Just discovered @goodhopsbrewing has a disc golf course on-site, and now more than ever I wish I was in North Carolina.

Today marks my one year anniversary as a business owner. Here’s the biggest things I’ve learned:

1. Business ownership is hard. I’ve been more stressed this past year than I have ever been in my entire life.
2. Outsourcing business tasks best left to someone else is a step toward business growth, but it’s easy to understate how hard that is.
3. Business ownership has meant more effort for less money, even though I charge 4 times as much as my hourly rate where I worked before.
4. Getting insurance when you’re self-employed is extremely difficult. Especially when $800/month is downright impossible.
5. Having no answer for “how much do you earn each year?” Is troublesome. Banks don’t like “I don’t know…probably this much?”
6. Hunger is a valuable asset to get you to kick your ass in gear, but it’s a fine line. Too much invites emotion in rational places.
7. I hate how much my business has taken control over my mind. I think about it constantly, and it’s difficult to make it stop sometimes.
8. Disc golf at 10:00 AM is amazing, when I get to go.
9. I miss the mindless office banter a lot more than I thought I would.
10. Despite the (many) complaints above, being a business owner has been one of the greatest things I have ever done for myself. I love it

No shower beer this Tuesday. I only do it after Disc Golf, which i didn’t go to today because my hands and feet are covered in poison ivy. 😕

Chains, baby. #discgolf
