Owners & Dreamers Differ On Small Business Motivations
Small business owners, and people who dream of becoming
entrepreneurs, have a lot in common. They also have some significant
differences. More than 50% of Americans polled dream of owning their
own company some day, while 10% already have a business, and a 33%
have absolutely no interest in stepping out on their own, according
to a survey conducted by Opinion Research for FedEx Corp.
Among the strongest reasons for owning a business — doing
something you love — was cited by both current owners and
those who want to become one by nearly the same percentage, 39% and
38%, respectively.
But being your own boss was mentioned by
a larger percentage of owners, 26%, than those dreaming of owning a
business, 17%. The third most-often cited reason, to have work and
family flexibility, was mentioned by 18% of the owners and 16% of
the dreamers.
The survey found that 10% of dreamers cited
having something to pass on to children, while 5% of owners gave
that as a reason for ownership. Of the dreamers, 7% mentioned they
wanted to give back to the community, compared with 4% of owners.
The pollsters also found that men are more likely than women
(20% to 13%) to cite being one’s own boss as a reason, while women
are more likely than men (20% to 13%) to mention work and family
flexibility.

Follow The Footsteps Of Success
In 1946 Estee Lauder founded the famed cosmetic firm on her
kitchen table. Her son Leonard is now Executive Chairman of this
very profitable company, which does billions in annual sales. These
are his common-sense observations, which he terms "Rules for Success
in Business."
Rule #1:
Lawyers and
accountants make very good lawyers and accountants. But if it's your
own business, you better take your own advice. For no one is more
sincerely interested in your business than you.
Rule #2:
When a person with experience meets a person
with money, the person with experience will get the money and the
person with the money will get the experience. (Sometimes called
valuable lesson.)
Rule #3:
Be lucky,
and be prepared. That way you're ready to exploit a good business
opportunity when it comes your way.
Rule #4:
Stay out of sight of all but your customers. Don't wave
a red flag at a competitor who could easily trample you with the
flick of a marketing decision.
Rule #5:
You can do almost anything while you're small enough. That's when
you are able to make your greatest market innovations without
countermoves from competitors who feel threatened.
Rule #6:
Think small for big profits. Keep the
organization divided into manageable units.
Rule
#7:
It takes a thief to catch a thief. Increase sales
by establishing competing brands of your own.
Rule
#8:
Listen to your customers. It's the best way to make
your business grow.
Rule #9:
Build
your business on true quality, and have justified confidence in your
product.
Rule #10:
Understand the
essential nature of your business. Stick to what you know, and don't
change it lightly.
