Andy and Brian continued their discussion about Andy’s possible clock repair business. “You know, it’s not like it’s a business your Dad started and you feel like you HAVE to continue,” Brian spoke up. “Is it because you want to be the boss and tell people what to do and stuff? Or are you trying to be a big shot, ‘Mr. Business Owner?’ What makes you want to leave a good job like this and do something like that?”

Andy replied, “No, Brian, it’s not like that at all. Sure, I’d like to have a decent income – one where I didn’t have to be worried that I’d get laid off all the time – and maybe it’d turn out to be even better than that and I could afford a nice house and car. What I’d really like though is to be able to learn more about clocks – maybe pick up watches, too. I’d kind of like to see if I’ve got what it takes to run my own business as well. Can I keep books and advertise and stuff like that? Also, since the kids are getting older, do you know how many of Carl’s Little League games I’ve had to miss or how many of Denise’s band concerts?”

Andy and Brian touched on many of the rewards new entrepreneurs seek through small businesses – and some of the ones that entrepreneurs generally do not seek. List the ones you see.
