The Great American Contradiction

Have you ever wondered why we as Americans put so much value on business ownership? Is it a rite of passage? Is it a status symbol? Is it for wealth and glory?

I am sure that the above reasons are relevant for most people looking to own a business, but I believe at the core of the desire is the understanding that there is no greater freedom then to be your own boss. As Americans we have a lot of different views about politics, religion, ethics, and lifestyle choices, yet in the end we are all fighting for the same thing; our FREEDOM. No matter what we believe we all feel that no one has the right to take away our ability to choose. Yet, for most of us we are employed. We are told, when to wake up, when to eat launch, when to go home. We are even told how much we are worth.

As Americans it is this contradiction that drives as all to desire our own business. We say that we deserve freedom, but then we give it up for a weekly paycheck, we say that we have the right to chose our own paths, but we trade that right in for benefits. It is this contradiction that motivates us to push forward to better and bigger things such as business ownership. It is this contradiction that burns in our hearts telling us all to accept the calling, to be more then we currently are, and to achieve more than we are currently achieving. It is this contradiction that makes America great. The simple fact that we do have the choice, we can say that we want freedom or we can step out and take the freedom that we all talk about.

What do you choose?

Is it time for you to talk with Junga Juice about their Business Opportunities? Is it time for you to be the employee or the employer? You have the freedom to decide.
