Thank you for this conversation! Listening to this as I work in my own Company of One (preparing lunch for catering order) and feeling comforted and reminded that I am a legit entrepreneur, despite not having my own premises. Thanks for reminding me that there isn't just one route to business success and its all about finding what works for you! Thanks guys!
