What are some of the positives and negatives of owning a small business?

Klar: "The positives of owning my own, small business is that I get to teach people what I love and get to have a flexible schedule. A negative is that you get to be your own boss, which is nice, but I also ask myself sometimes if I can really do something and I just have to keep telling myself that yes I can...so for me, there is that fear you can't do something."

What is the best thing about owning a small business in West Orange?

Klar: "I grew up in West Orange and I never thought I would end up back here after traveling and working and living in Los Angeles and elsewhere for so many years. West Orange is full of friendly and personable people who are proud of their community. It is nice being around people like that and I look forward to meeting everybody."
