The start of a new business brings excitement, anticipation of the things to come and the proverbial knot in the stomach. The fact remains that it never gets easy. The Wesley Chapel Montessori at Lexington Oaks (wcmontessori.com) opens it doors today to educate the next generation of children in their community.
The brand new building, the new materials, a professional yet anxious staff, await the pitter patter of little feet. What the walls do not tell, are the untold stories of countless hours of planning, dealing with bureaucratic red tape, and putting together the right team. The walls certainly do not talk about the challenges of managing the dollars that seem to fly out the window as if they had little wings and a mind of their own.
We often look at successful businesses with a fine degree of respect and envy. While our individual propensity for risk varies, being an entrepreneur is never easy. The crazy part? The real work starts today, as the journey has just begun.
Good luck and break a leg.
