Mo Speigel of Celestial Seasonings, Inc. compares the experience of the business owner to that of riding a roller coaster. One day you're at the height, feeling nothing could be better than running your own company; the next day you're at the depths, wondering whatever possessed you to become self employed in the first place. And so it continues, day after day, or week after week. Employed people experience motivational ups and downs as well, but the range is so much smaller than what the self employed experience. In this workshop we will examine the causes of the motivational mood swings, and explore ways to manage the volatile nature of the life of the small business owner. (3 hours)
