You don't have a job, you have a business. That's a big difference.
What you do pays off directly to you. You work hard, you do well (or
better). If you choose to go flying you can pay someone else to cover
the front desk. At some point you may choose to go flying more and pay
someone else more or choose to work more and pay someone else less. For
the rest of us we work, we get paid, we work some more. If we exceed
the expectations of our performance plans we get an atta boy.


This is quite true. But I also lose everything if the government
decides to fund another new hotel. (They've built two in the last two
years...)

If you want the freedom of business ownership, you have to be willing
to risk everything. Everyone is against you, from the big-box chains
to the state and local gummint 'crats. There are few allies in
business; the best you can usually hope for is neutrality.

Bottom line: If you want the safety of the corporate world, you have
to be willing to eat **** every day. You will never starve, but it
sure tastes bad sometimes.

In my world, even the **** can stop.
