Being Romantic

I read an interesting article this morning. I find it fascinating to read about small businesses and how they fill a need in the marketplace. It most certainly will happen as more people lose their jobs or are not hired. The need for income is real. I think there is a romanticism with entrepreneurship in this country. Not that it is entirely a bad thing, but there are realities that need to be pointed out. The woman in this article has a husband who makes an income. She has the ability at least in this article to not bring in her income and work on a hobby business. I fully support businesses like this, but also see the real need for a solid business plan with growth and revenue.
