Welcome to The How of Business with Henry Lopez and David Begin, the podcast that helps you start, run, and grow your small business. And now here are your hosts.

This is Henry Lopez and welcome to this special episode of The Howa Business. This is a re-release of episode number one,

which we originally released back in March of 2016.

I have edited some to make it tighter and more concise,

but it's still great and relevant information for you.

If you're at a position right now

where you're thinking about becoming your own boss,

if you're in the corporate world, for example, and you've been thinking about it, dreaming about

it, just you're at that point now where you just can't take it anymore and you're ready to

make that transition, then this episode is for you. So help you think through some of the reasons why myself and my co-host, David,

began, decided to make the transition from very good jobs in the corporate world to starting

our own businesses.

So here is now the re-release, edited version of episode one.

Are you ready to be your own boss?

So this episode, to that point, is about that transition and that question that both David

and I had when we were working in the corporate environment of, am I ready to be my own boss?

So this episode is really targeted at those listeners who are

still in a corporate world thinking about making the transition or thinking, have been thinking

about it maybe for some time or asking yourself that question. You think you might want to do

this, but you're not sure. You have questions. You don't know about the risk.

So this episode is for you.

It won't be the only episode that we record on this topic, but this will get this conversation started and we'll share some of our ideas, some of what we went through and our stories as to how we got there because we were not born entrepreneurs.
