Butcher by Nature - Philosophy 101

Yesterday morning I popped up to Annette and Runnymede to an organic butcher shop. I always run by the shop in the mornings but have never stopped in as it's closed before 10 am. So yesterday on a quest for bison meat I remembered about the shop and decided to go check it out.

What a wonderful place and owner! The owner was super friendly and helpful, the shop was spotless and had a great little selection of organic meats, game meats, gluten-free goodies, and some spelt pastas and crackers.

The owner mentioned the hours of operation and said a few clients had commented on not being open on Sundays and Mondays. He then eloquently said that he has 3 kids and wants to have a great work-life balance, so even if he is a small business owner he wants to live a happy and fulfilled life!

Something you have to constantly remind yourself of whether you are a small business owner, a farmer, a lawyer or a politician....
