It's Cool To Be An Entrepreneur Because...

[BizyDad]

I just paid Christmas bonuses.

In cash. I like cash.

Growing up I always wanted to be generous with my hard earned dollars and take care of the people I care about. So once I started hiring, I just thought it would be so cool to give out Christmas bonuses.

So I do. Today was my third annual bonus day. It feels great. Honestly, I don't know what I expect, but I really think I enjoy giving envelopes of hundreds more than my guys like getting them. And that's just fine with me.

We spend a lot of time on the forum talking about our big "why", or our FTE, but I haven't seen much about those little why's. Like my being able to give Christmas bonuses.

Anyhoo, there's been a lot of negativity "out there" this year. So I wanted to take a moment and reflect on the cool things, the sometimes unsaid or unnoticed things that make the journey worthwhile.

What are some of those little things that you love about being on your entrepreneur journey? Do you have a story of your own to share about why it's cool to be an entrepreneur?
