AND ONE MORE THING … 

You know that starting a new business is going to require an investment of time. You know it will require some money too. You do it because you hope there will eventually be a financial payoff. But there’s more to it—benefits you might not expect.

For one thing, there is tremendous satisfaction in charting your own course and seeing it through. And when you employ other people, you create wealth not just for yourself but for them as well.

Think about it. With their small businesses, entrepreneurs create jobs and have a significant impact on the economic growth of the entire world.

Entrepreneurs make a difference. They touch people’s lives.

It’s as simple—and profound—as that.

I’m looking forward to welcoming you to the club.
