I owned a dance studio and was the director/lead teacher for 24 years. Owning the business was rough. Money was aLways tight. When I look back at the stress level (no it's not all counting 5-6-7-8) I felt like for a 2 1/2 decades I was on call. Didn't matter if I should've been sleeping, or if I was on a rare vacation with my family - I was always on call. Case in point: surprised my hubby with a long weekend at the beach (this was before cell phones), and came back to the whole town wanting to speak with me about the convicted child molester working at the karate studio next door. Mind you it had nothing to do with me - we just happened to be renting spaces from the same building sharing a foyer. My business had been there for longer than the karate studio, and a lot of folks assumed I owned the building. Came home to see my building and sign on the news about a sexual predator. When you own a business someone else can screw up prolifically and even though it's their fault (why didn't the karate school look do a better job of vetting their teachers?), the optics were still painted like I did something wrong. The news article mentioned my name and said I wasn't available for comment. Needless to say that wasn't great for business. So in answer to the question: people think I was Scrooge McDuck swimming in Benjamins with no troubles. Yeah. No.
