THE BOSS

I was just ask why I will be an entrepreneur, is it because I want to be the boss? 
This is the furthest from the true reason. 

The future wellbeing of family is my primary purpose. I have the sincerest admiration for the workforce. I will re-enter it soon, but my mind is focused on making jobs not getting jobs. I'm a community guy. As an business proprietor I can better serve my community by providing employment opportunities for others. A business is transferable to my family, a traditional job is not. As an entrepreneur I will accomplish two primary family goals - First, model hard work and ethical behavior and the rewards that come from these actions, and second build a business or businesses that provide family income for future Pinckney generations. 

Author Jack London's credo says it best for me,

I would rather be ashes than dust! 
I would rather that my spark should burn out 
in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. 
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom 
of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. 
The function of man is to live, not to exist. 
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. 
I shall use my time.
