What it takes to start your own business

When we're deciding what to name our company a few years ago, little did I know the ups and downs of having a real business. It's super hard work and takes a ton of perseverance and commitment to make great stuff and keep the clients happy. To run a company takes True Grit. I think the entrepreneurs of today would totally be the cowboys of the past.

Michael had decades of business startup experience before we decided to take one on together as husband and wife - so he had an idea of what to expect. I only ever had a one person team (myself) prior to Robots and Pencils. I didn't have a clue of what to expect - but naively, I thought it was going to be fun. (I've been accused of wearing rose coloured glasses.)

The photo says it all of what it takes to make a business work. We were getting windows installed in our basement office. It was noisy, dirty and very distracting and Michael was still working.

I definitely don't have True Grit, since I was the one taking the photo. :P
