And on the 8th day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, "I need a job creator." So God made a small business owner. God said, "I need somebody willing to sit up all night worrying about how to make payroll. I need somebody who's okay with paying their employees before they make a single dollar. I need someone who will take all the risk to sign the front of the check....so that others have the privilege of signing the back. I need someone who will risk their life savings just to break even every year and hope that the next will be better." So God made a small business owner. "I need somebody with a personality strong enough to handle a complaining customer and yet gentle enough to train a new employee. Somebody to run payroll, stock the shelves, skip lunch, run across town to hand deliver an order to an elderly customer, work late, and not get back to their own house until 10:30 PM." So God made a small business owner. “I need someone who will work 70 hours a week, every week, and be able to tolerate the media AND EVEN THEIR OWN FRIENDS saying that business owners ‘aren't paying their fair share.’” So God made a small business owner. God had to have somebody willing to always put the customer first, sometimes even before their own family. God needed someone willing to open early, stay open late, miss their kids' baseball games...just so that other parents wouldn't have to. So God made a small business owner. God needed someone who would get people what they need, when they needed it, for a fair price. Someone who could be a living example of the old-fashioned virtues of self reliance, hard work, and not spending more than you make. God needed someone to keep the American dream alive. So God made a small business owner. -Jeff Williamson, Ownerland Realty Special thanks to the small businesses that participated in this project: Queen City Classics Ding Machine, LLC Paintless Dent Repair Diamond Quality Clean Frutta Bowls - Mason Fit4You Fitness & Martial Arts Fit Well Amber Dabney Smith Mac's Pizza Pub Landen Jeff Williamson Insurance LLC Walt Luti Tire Pickles & Bones Barbecue Carbonara's Grill #longlivesmallbusiness #inthistogtherohio #Cincystrong #shoplocalcincinnati
