With the world’s economy as tumultuous as it is it is very easy to feel as if you’re on the bottom of a lake, trying to see your way clear to the surface. Job security is scarce, if not nil, and it seems as if you need loads of education just to qualify for the most basic jobs on the market these days. We were brought up to believe that if we dreamed, worked hard and then implemented said-dreams that we would get ahead. On a grey day it’s sometimes hard to believe that, huh?
Yet here’s some good news: there has rarely been a better time to go into business for yourself. Think about it, when you work for yourself you have at least one person on board that really cares what happens to you. Is becoming an entrepreneur a “safe” idea? No. Is working a 9 to 5 and hoping you don’t get let go any safer? Probably not. Remember how you were desperate to go skiing in Austria with your mates but work couldn’t “afford” to let you have time off? You spent years going in early, staying late but they still let you go (after your friends’ return from holiday, no doubt) and there was nothing you could do about it.
It’s not to say you should just blindly jump ship from a steady cheque but take a candid look at today’s market and see if there’s an entrepreneurial niche that’s just waiting to be filled by You – and never miss out on holidays with friends again.
