As 2009 finishes and 2010 begins to unfold, we need to be proud of what we accomplish even if most of the world does not give credit to our businesses being the crux of employment and the economy as a whole.
We don’t get credit for creating jobs and constantly putting the money we make back into the system. We don’t get credit for thinking of others first, such as employees, vendors and anyone else that sits on top of the “must be paid” ladder. We barely get help from the government and we certainly don’t get any breaks for doing what we do.
Sometimes we are even mislabeled as money grubbing people, but here are some statistics to negate that:
Charitable Giving by Household Income, based on IRS data:
Income Class Entrepreneurs Non-Entrepreneurs
$65,480+ 3.23% 2.42%
$37,381-$65,480 3.47% 1.84%
$21,661-$37,380 3.29% 1.14%
$10,661-$21,660 2.25% 0.74%
$0-$10,660 1.55% 0.35%
Average 2.53% 1.27%
Those are some amazing statistics regarding money hungry, ego maniac business owners, huh?
Be proud of what we accomplish and do for others as entrepreneurs. You deserve every positive thing you get for being driven to do what you do with your business.
Know that as you keep heading down this entrepreneurial path that someone has already run into the same problems or scenarios you are going through right now as well as those you will hit in the future. That means there is always an answer and people that think just like you do to help you find that answer.
So as we head into the new year, keep on keepin’ on knowing that you are doing good for not only yourself but your clients and anyone else touched by your business. And you are not alone.
To Your Business Success-
