and profitable Canadian economy, it simply takes one small business at a time. Often, we work 10 to 16 hours per day, many weekends, and rarely will ignore a business call regardless of the event! You all know who you are! We call home while on vacation to check on the projects and production. The same character traits apply to all business owners regardless of sex, religion, ethnicity, or language. I see small business owners as our own sub species; we are very protective of what we have created and will work continually to ensure it grows and stays safe. For most small business owners our company is our baby and we want to see it grow strong and healthy so one day it can stand alone without our help. This is the time when the owner becomes the advisor or the consultant or director of the board and has given operational control to others. Maybe, just maybe, we can retire at the young age of 80 because we loved our work so much, we just couldn’t stop. When your business is your passion, you never want to stop, and you could be hooked for life. Dan Monk is a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.), Red Seal Carpenter and the Owner of Monk Renovations. Dan and the team at Monk Renovations can provide you with an outstanding home renova- tion experiences regardless of the size of your project.
