A University of Phoenix/Harris survey reported that half of
all working adults in the United States either own their own
businesses or hope to start one. Of those who do not currently
own a business, a solid 39% wish they did, according to the
2014 poll.
That was certainly the case for Jeff Muyrong, founder of JBM
Tax & Bookkeeping Services in Cerritos, California. He worked
on that goal for many years before he jumped to full-time
entrepreneurship in 2016.
Muyrong says he loves being in business for himself: He’s his
own boss, he has a chance to serve his clients and community,
and he can make a good living. While he’s unlikely to be the next
Larry Page or Elon Musk, super wealth was never his goal.
