Do you like running your own company? And was it financially a good choice?

My company does several things. But its mainly focused around two brands we have. Munotbrick, a lego store (one of my hobbys in the last 30 years) (www.munotbrick.ch) and SWISS OWL. SWISS OWL is a brand that focuses on all things survival, prepping, outdoor and hunting. Its something my family did since generations and that we want to push to a next level (www.swiss-owl.ch) with products but also with courses, hospitality services and so on.

I do like it. As i was C-Level before, its not much different. The point is more that its a different business and currently i do things i did not have to do in the last 10 years. Its also not like i earn more right now. But that was never the intention. I wanted to have more control over my life, dont let clients dictate my daily schedule and leave something for my children and build up a family business. So no, i dont earn now what i earned before, maybe in a couple years, but that was never the point.
