Hello, and welcome to my Blog. My name is Scott Schroeder, and I am a small business owner in San Diego County. That’s an interesting title, isn’t it? Does anyone ever start a business to be a “small business owner?” I don’t think so. I want to be a large and profitable business owner. It seems to me that a small business owner is a transitory thing. You are either on your way to becoming a large business owner, or on your way to becoming a “former” business owner!
The small business that I have chosen to own is a real estate and mortgage company. Now, I know what you’re thinking. Who in his right mind would want to be in the real estate and mortgage business right now? Especially as a start up company!! Trust me, I lay awake at night pondering just that question. I truly enjoy the experience of handing a homeowner the keys to their new home, and watching their faces as they walk from room to room imagining their furniture there, hearing their children’s voices coming from the back yard, seeing their car in the garage. There is great joy and satisfaction in seeing them realize the American dream. Now, if the market would just cooperate, we would all be happy!!
A wise man once told me that: “Where there is turmoil, there is profit.” Well, if he is correct, then this has got to be the best real estate market in the last 20 years. Over the next weeks and months I will detail some of the difficulties, challenges, and joys that are coming to me from this career choice. I hope you will stay tuned, and feel free to comment.

Dear Scott,

I enjoyed reading your blog - good writing and interesting ideas. I look forward to hearing more. Just one thing: I don’t know that it is always the right choice for a company to grow. Sometimes staying small is the right decision!

Boy, isn’t that true? The problem is that if you stay too small, you disappear, and if you get too big you explode.
I guess just being born independently wealthy is out of the question???
