For example, a chiropractor or a lawyer opens her own practice so that she can do the chiropractor work or legal work that she loves. Essentially, most people looking to start a new business aren’t actually looking to start a business. Rather they are looking for a vessel through which they can do what they care about and are trained to do.<br><br>However, by not viewing your passion as a business venture can quickly turn disastrous. You end up feeling overwhelmed and like you are constantly working, which you probably are.
