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.
