RE: Is This What You Really Want??
Holding a 9-5 is easy.
Get up, go to work, come home. Leave your work at work and do what you want to do at home. Its simply.
Spend all that extra time and energy focusing on your projects, joys, arts, hobbies and more.
Owning your own busines is all consuming. Its work. A lot of work - especially if you want it to provide for you.
Yes, there are benefits to being your own boss, but you have to want to succeed. You have to first face your "fear of failer". Once you get over that, you need to face your "fear of success". More people fail because they fear success than failure. it is easy to fail. Its really hard to succeed. There is a lot of pressure there.
If you want to start your own business - go for it. create a business plan, create a plan, and work your plan.
If you want to make money, do a job. Be really good at your job. And work your way up the ladder of success. ask for promotions and raises. Do what it takes, within moral and virtuous guidelines, to rise up!
The easiest way to make money is to work for someone else.
The best way to start your own business is holding a job and doing it on the side. Slowly shift from your job to your own business.
It's one of those it's easier said than done type things. Many people let holding that job make them comfortable. I know from experience!
Try. Security and comfort go a long way in a world that is designed to confuse people.
The focus of society is on holding a job. Our identies and value come from the work we do. Just imagine telling people “ a i sit at home and blog all day” “ im a blogger” do people respect that? Lol.
Until society honors happiness joy and fulfullment as important jobs will be a priority.
