The Owl would consult all his fellow business owners on different business decisions and actions. He was often asked by his clients, “How do I know if I’m in business?” and he would respond the same way. “If you have customers or clients that are paying you for your products and services then you are in business. It’s that simple.”
Lesson: Often it is asked when does a business become a business and not a hobby. It’s simple, when you have customers and are paid for your products and services then you are in business.
