Start Your Own Business
Deciding To Start Your Own Business
What a scary thought! Who would want to make that leap of
faith and start their own business? Do you really have the
self confidence to do it? Take a deep breath and think about
it.
If you are contemplating starting your own business, I know
these thoughts are running through your head. They certainly
raced through my mind when I was thinking about it. This is
a decision that needs thorough thought. Don’t jump into it
without thinking.
Have you thought about opening a store? The investment for
an “on the street” business is great – thousands and
thousands of dollars. That excludes most of us. A workable
alternative is a “work at home” business. The increasing
popularity of the internet has really opened up that field.
The instability of so many businesses has created a need for
many people to work for themselves.
It is very possible to start an “at home business” with very
little investment. This allows the “little guy” (you and me)
to be self-employed. If you search the web for online
businesses, you will find many that do require a large
initial outlay of cash. That wasn’t for me. I wanted an
opportunity to start with little or no cash output and then
I could determine expenditures on advertising and other
things. This would allow me to control my budget. Not having
a lot to spend, I was aware that it is possible to find free
methods of advertising which would require more time than
money.
Some people will quit their “day job” and jump into a
business. I do not advise this unless you are very
financially secure. I continue my full time job, devoting
all the hours I can in the evenings and weekends to my new
business. This takes a lot of determination! You really need
a lot of self confidence to believe that this business will
succeed and you will be able to do it full time in the
future. You really have to want to change your lifestyle.
The thought of being in control of my destiny fuels me. I am
determined to succeed.
Work at home businesses are also perfect for part time work.
Those of you who just want to supplement your family’s
income for vacation money, Christmas money, money to pay the
bills would do well with an online business. You can control
how much you earn and how much time you spend.
In this day of corporations constantly downsizing, no job is
secure. Wouldn’t you rather be the one in charge? Wouldn’t
you rather not have a long commute each day? Make the move!
Start working for yourself.
