Very Short Interview Part 2

So I went back to "The Shoe Surgeon" to get the final part of this interview...

Looking back on the first interview I feel like there are some things I can actually relate to. Sometimes in school we bypass things to just get assignments done and forget to actually listen and learn. Now as a more seasoned Entrepreneur, or at least I'd like to think so, I can see what he meant in his responses.

Here's what I asked him now:

1. Are you happy?
Yes, I actually think I am. 

2. Even if your trade didn't become fortune hundred status, would you still continue to do what you do?
Of course. I love what I do and I don't think that becoming that big is what I have in mind because in the process you would lose the personal connection with the service you offer. The products I provide are hand made with care and my bare hands. Becoming that big would take that aspect away from me and my brand entirely. 

3. Do you have an exit strategy?
Honestly, no. This is something I want to do until I simply can't do it anymore. If my children want to take up the mantle and follow in my footsteps I would be glad to show them what I do and how to make their own creations and express their creativity. 

In this interview I was much more comfortable talking about Entrepreneurship because having had a taste of many of the things that have to do with the concept I understand that it is a process just like everything else. I also understand that like every process it isn't always for everyone, and more importantly, that that is alright.

I think I've progressed because of the questions I asked. No longer am I concerned with the profit and opportunity aspect but rather if it is something that I would be invested in, personally. Enough so that I would pour my soul into it before letting it fail.
