The best thing about your business (and the worst)

I didn`t know which category to post this in, so "Running Your Business" was my best guess.
My questions are simple, but the answers may require some thought...
Here goes:
"What`s the best thing about your business?"; and...
"What`s the worst thing about your business?"
For me, the best thing is seeing people find value in the service StartupNation provides - to see the "crazy idea" morphing into a viable reality.
The worst thing is having to do things methodically - there are way too many great ideas we have and, still, they just have to wait on a list due to priorities and limited resources... it`s really frustrating. Man! Patience really is a virtue in this game!
And you?
Rich

The worst part is similar to your worst thing, Rich. There are so many things I want/need to do, but there`s only one of me and I have to allocate my time approrpriately.
You`re not kidding about patience being a virtue...
The best thing about my business is that the education can help anyone`s personal or business finances dramatically.
The worst thing is that typically only the wealthy understand and are open to the information, not the people who are struggling that I would really love to help.
around my 3 teenage boys various schedules , work to my own
timetable. Choosing what products to sell on my website that
aren`t being sold in the local stores.
The worst thing I have to agree with Chris is, my house is also a
mess, but I know where everything is even if it looks chaotic!
For me the worst this is that I did not know about you all before I bought the business, I have now found out that (the old owner carried the papers), I paid about 31k to much, the term is not long enough, but the interest rate is good. So currently, it is 8:55pm Thurdsay evening Aug 31st and I have been got to work Sunday night at 10:30pm. So in order to make things work I have to spend a lot of time here.
The best thing is that I did not know veery much about the business of detailing cars when I bought the business, (I could not even pretend to detail a car back then) and today, I can do most of it so I have learned alot. Also, the knowledge about business that I have gained from owning this company has allowed me to take on another business that I now run for a friend that was hurt, (it looks like it will be full time from now on too), gave me the curage to start a with a MLM company (Xango), my wife has her own Mary K business, works for 911 and we have a 4 and 6 year old that we have in priavte scholl. (my 4 year old can read) so it has allowed me to do a lot too!
But it is still alot of work
Thanks for asking the question, it is a great one!
