Fact: If you want to run a business you need to do at least two things:

1) Sell A Product/Service
2) Deliver The Product/Service

No matter what the spam email ads and late night infomercials claim you cannot get out of these two functions and still consider your operation a business.

Even if you are an employee of another business you are really operating as a self-contained business. How?

Think of it this way, when you applied or interviewed for the job, you had to sell yourself, your skills and your abilities. Right? You were selling a product - you!

Now each day you have to deliver that product, you have to drive to work, or log on and do your job or provide your product to your employer. Your employer is your sole customer. You are a personal business that has one product - you, and one customer - your employer.
