The overall aim of 2 running my own business is either to build the business up to the stage where it provides me with a very good living, or where it can be sold for a large profit. The business is really a secondary consideration as my purpose is more about 3 pursuing my passion. Owning a small business allows me the freedom to work in a profession I get excited about.
