What is the biggest perk of owning your own business?
For me, a big value in owning my own business is all the work put into is mine :the designs, website, packaging -- everything you see, I had my fingers on and thought of. Coming from and still being part of the creative design world, it's sometimes a frustration when asked to "make the red more red" in a design. Owning is sort of a therapy session.
