Life in the restaurant business can provide a start in the working world for young people or a stable living for many Americans and their families.

As any small business owner knows, starting a business is not glamorous work.

Every sandwich I sold, the city got more sales tax, the state got more. But they came in and they would want to give me a ticket because I have a sign outside trying to get more business, right?

I started my first business when I was 19. I learned a valuable lesson as a small business owner. You are the first one to work, last one to leave, and last one to be paid.

Small business creates more jobs than large corporations.
