Baffling Lingo

"Hobbies"

Shapes of all sorts and sizes, great and small,	      
That stood along the floor and by the wall;	
  And some loquacious vessels were, and some	
Listened, perhaps, but never talked at all.

2024 is my first year in business. It was a tough ride for me with ups and downs and many lessons that I would like to share to new entrepreneurs or even to people who are already in business for a long time. All I can say is that, "business is hard but the character development is so worth it , even if there is no substantial amount of money earned yet."
