*Sarah (*not her real name) had always planned on running her own business. She didn't like being told what to do, how to do it. She was a leader, not a follower.
Sarah started working in her family's business (floor coverings) from the time she was little. She would go there with her mom, in the mornings to help clean and count inventory; normal business stuff. As she got older, she was able to walk to the store from school and learned from her mom, accounting. Her mother kept the books for the family business while her dad and brothers took care of selling and installation. As she became more proficient with the books, her mother let her have more and more responsibilities in running the office. This is when Sarah decided that running her own business was her long-term goal.
It was a good and thriving business during her youth. It helped pay for her extra-curricular activities while in high school (track team and band) and taught her how to budget her money for the long haul of college. This business also paid the bills for their family home, food, etc. It was their livelihood and the kids knew that it was always going to be part of their lives - for the rest of their lives.
Or so they thought.
