Tito, I really admire your attitude and you’re certainly right when you say that entrepreneurial business gives you the most control over your financial future. Whilst working as an employee can provide structure, elements of security and a clear separation between work and home life,it is rarely as fulfilling as running one’s own enterprise. The key is to find a niche in the market, ensuring that it is something that interests you personally. If you have no knowledge of the area that you wish to target, you must be willing to learn so this interest is of prime importance. It’s so much easier to persevere with something that you have initially established and are passionate about and this is why I would encourage anyone considering entrepreneurship to give it a go.

That’s right Walter, making the decision and acting on that decision are very different things.

Many people may “decide” to do something “one day” but it takes action to turn decisions into destinies. Without that action, it is really “indecision”.

That offer for the ebook creator for Photoshop is still on

You’ll always have the time once you decide you have the time. Period!

Great point. Straight and to the point.

Love this post… I always tell ppl that hate their job that they can take control of their own destiny. It all comes down to desire- do you really want to own ur own business, or own your hours or live the rat race forever?

Walter,

You nailed it with many great pointers on being your own boss. I couldn’t agree with you more about doing your own thing with a full control.. The freedom and reward is priceless.

Hi there,

I am fed up with my job and torturing mysef, I really think it’s time to give myself a break and some breathing space.

I have many bad habits and not planning ahead is one of them so I guess that’s the first weak link I have to fix.

Thank you for a very insightful and thought provoking post, I will be sure to put the information to good use.

Alex.

Just as Elise pointed out above, it is very crucial to start working on one’s financial future early other than being dependent on a job to cater for our future. At most, no job guarantees life time financial cash flow, the only true security is one you can control and that is only found in the world of entrepreneurship.

I like as you were blunt, if you don’t find them for it, it won’t happen by itself. Stopping all those habits that don’t contribute into your financial future is one good way to start. No one will setup a PLAN B for you when you lose that current job, so start now!

Hi Walter, I love the advice you gave here. Entrepreneurship has basically been in my blood for as long as I can remember, and working for someone else has never truly fulfilled me, even though some of the jobs I had were pretty fun and I got to meet and work with a lot of great people. Still, having a boss SUCKS! and trading that huge chunk of time every day for money is more depressing than ever. Great article, I’ll give ‘er a RT on twitter!
