Are you Self Employed or Own a Business?

I own a small Electrical Contracting business in Mid-Missouri. We are feeling the pinch right now but as my old boss told me when I started "don't get to High in the good times and to low in the bad" that seems to be good advice right now.

I own a company that delivers Tx and supervision to court ordered offenders and a technology based company that develops and markets offender management systems. Both are impacted by the current economy. I've been self employed most of my life.
