In an interview with Inc., Jon Westenberg, an entrepreneur and critic, shared that there’s nothing wrong with a small business and it doesn’t mean you’re poor. Westernberg added that it makes you enjoy simple stuff, be close to people who matter in your biz, and be in control providing quality products and service. On top of those things, learning from the ground up is doable.
“Small means lower overheads, lower cash burn rate–and the chance to keep all profits within your own company and your own pocket,” Westenberg imparted.
