Thinking About Self Employment?

Do you realize that according to the latest Census Bureau figures, we are in the midst of a major self employment boom? Forecasters say that the biggest employer by 2010 will be "SELF".

People have finally had it with corporate life....long hours, too much time away from their families, no vacations, the list goes on.

They have the entrepreneurial drive, and are deciding that enough is enough and want to take control of their lives. People are starting to realize that they have choices in life, and they do not have to stay stuck in jobs they hate, working for corporations that really don't appreciate them.

There is no job security anymore, so why stay stuck in a job that is not fulfilling? People spend most of their day working, and are really starting to realize that if you are going to put that much time into something, you had better enjoy it.....not to mention they really want to get their lives back, spend more time with their families and start living life on their own terms, rather than "the corporations" terms.

If you are self employed, congratulations! I have been self employed for over 21 years, and wouldn't have it any other way. I don't use an alarm clock anymore, I wake up when my eyes open, much more natural! I start every day with a lovely bubble bath, and then make the commute down the stairs to my home office. (which by the way is beside my pool in the summer months) I work when I want to work, 4 days a week, Mon-Thurs about 4-6 hrs/day. I go out for breakfast in the middle of the morning when everyone else is at work, I walk our dog in the middle of the afternoon and go for coffee for an hour or two, I vacation 4-5 times a year, I spend every day with my husband who works along side me (most people wait till their 65 to start spending time together as a couple)....I love my life....

I encourage everyone, to take a stand for what you really want in your life....break the corporate ties and start your own business, fullfill your entrepreneurial drive. You don't have to stay stuck, find a business and take your control back.

Not sure where to start? Feel free to contact me if you want to become an entrepreneur and are looking for something lucrative ..... I help people get out of the rat race and create freedom and wealth in their lives through self employment.

Hiring introverts vs. extroverts - Hi Kevin - interesting topic! Thinking back over my career as an entrepreneur and the people I've brought on, most of them have been introverts. The exception usually comes with the sales function (but not always). It's generally hard to be a good salesperson if you are an introvert.

Re: Getting ready to sell by childhood baseball card collection. - Sounds like we're in a similar situation Mal. For me it just got to a point where I realized if I took my top 20 or 30 cards that meant the most to me I could actually display them and cherish them instead of keeping them in boxes with all the others. Plus I knew others could benefit and get new happiness from the other cards. Thinking about those 2 points made it a lot easier to part with them.
Re: How do you create a million dollar idea? - Thinking is the easiest way to create a million dollar idea. If in doubt ask Alex Tew. He was faced with a financial problem, he needed money for his university education. He sat down one night and thought on how to overcome the problem, he came out with selling pixels to a million people at a dollar each. In five months he made his millon.
