Another great reason for having your own Home Based Business

For the record, just because you may be interested or have a "home based business", it doesn't mean that you have to physically stay at home to work your business. We are all over the country promoting our home-based business for a good portion of the year (by choice).

As I have discussed before, there are quite a few good reasons for why you want to be in business for yourself. Obviously, the income you make can be as much or as little as you wish. The income is determined by how hard you work for it. The only limitation is you.

Some of the not-so-obvious benefits of being self employed is getting to meet the neatest people. Yesterday we met a gentleman who is a Silver Star recipient and earned two Bronze Stars. His name is Al, and he served two tours in Vietnam. We had a wonderful discussion with him and got to hear some great stories about some of his time in Vietnam. This man served our country when serving in Vietnam was not appreciated, and he is not resentful in any way, shape or form. He is a true warrior, not taking anything for granted, but grateful to have been given the opportunity to serve his country and help his fellow soldiers.

Al told us the story of how he earned the Silver Star and how he felt that he was just doing what he was trained to do. He believes that he had done nothing different than anyone else would have done. What I find interesting is that when talking with most of the soldiers who have earned these type of commendations, they feel that at the time they did nothing spectacular. These soldiers are very humble about the service they performed. I guess that is what makes them true heroes, they only see what needs to be done for their fellow man, not what might happen to them.

After having the opportunity to talk with Al for some time, he very kindly asked if Steve could accompany him (Al) in the motorcycle parade in Ignacio on Sunday. Al has lead this ride for several years, and felt strongly that Steve should also ride with him. This is an awesome honor for Steve and again proof about how big Al's heart truly is. For those of you who may be in the 4-Corners area for the rally this Sunday, please come out to see Al and Steve leading the annual 4-Corners Rally Motorcycle Parade through the town of Ignacio, CO. We hope to see some of you there.
