Advantages And Disadvantages Of Self Employment
Written by Andy Josiah
Have you ever dreamt of running your very own business from the comfort of your own home? Have you ever had to work late, work on weekends or even Public holidays simply because the boss moved up the deadline on a particular project? Have you found yourself out very early in the morning yet still reaching to work late, pushing shoving and fighting for transport to get to work or if you are a driver have to sit in a car no for hours in grid lock traffic with no air-condition ?, You think and wonder about the benefits being self employed.
If any of the sounds familiar to you it is critical that you ask yourself a few important questions, you need to know exactly what running your own business really is like. Allot of people think about nice cars, vacations, huge luxurious homes and forget to pay attention to the sacrifices that they would have to make. It is important that you consider this and don’t make the mistakes that a lot of new home business owners make.
You need to look at some of the everyday things that you would have to give up. Are you someone who love socializing at the office, do you look forward to those coffee breaks and long lunches to spend time with your friends at the office. Do you look forward to the Monday morning discussion at your desk about the things you did over the weekend. Do you need supervision to get things done? If you answered yes to this maybe a home business is not for you.
If you are the type of individual that sits alone in your office and probably goes to lunch alone and try to avoid the office gossip, socialising and just like staying by yourself . You love dealing with customers on the telephone you are self motivated and don’t need to be reminded of projects that are due and you finish all your jobs, projects and reports on time. Then you just might have the making of a good home based business entrepreneur.
To be successful in home business you must be self driven and self motivated, you must posses the ability to push yourself forward. Your determination and drive will be rewards with new sales and on profits earned at month end. Your total results, sales and profits can be really bleak without self motivation. You success will depend on the effort and time you are willing to invest. Without hard work and determination you cannot succeed and will not achieve your goals.
To anyone starting a home based business I would suggest that you always stay positive and focused on your goals, especially when sales and profits are not as good as expected. Remember that friends and family may not be very supportive with your new venture and you will realize that they can be very negative, ignore them and continue to focus on what is important. “You’re Goals” As they say in life the best revenge is Success.
