Update

Derrick hasn't been fired yet, which is good. I really hope it doesn't happen. If I was his employer, I don't know what I would do in his case.

I've been thinking lately -- and this is by no means an original thought -- about how owning a business really means having stewardship over a lot of people's well-being. And that's a responsibility of some consequence. It doesn't make me shrink wanting to run my own company. In fact, it makes me want to even more.

I just hope it's not vanity that is motivating me. There's a blurry line between doing good for the sake of doing good, and doing it for vanity's sake.
