Maybe now is the time that you took your own survival into your own hands. At any other time, it might have been too frightening a concept to consider starting your own business, but now may be the best time ever, as more people are starting their own businesses than ever before in history.
If you have been waiting for a sign, here it is:
Now is the Time to Start Your Own Business
And it makes sense, when faced with the growing seriousness of the pandemic, people are either content with telecommuting or not, and others are tired of resigning themselves to unemployment, so they are taking matters into their hands.
If in the new economy, you are going to be working from home, you might as well consider working for yourself, right? Be your own boss. No one else’s arse to kiss. The buck stops with you.
It is time to put yourself in the driver’s seat.
Of course, you are concerned about not knowing how much revenue you will be able to accrue in your own venture, it is uncertain, but you could make far more working for yourself than working for someone else. And think of the advantages of not having someone tell you what to do “or else.”
Almost immediately, if you have never thought about going into business for yourself, you will start to talk yourself out of the idea, thinking thoughts of unworthiness, “but I don’t have an MBA,” or other negative self-talk designed to keep you from exerting your right to independence. Do not let that hold you back.
Millions of Americans are starting new businesses right now, and half of them have no experience whatsoever.
Or you might think that you do not have what it takes, like the investment seed capital to start your business. That should not stop you either, because there are so many businesses that you can start with little or no investment, especially if you take advantage of digital and business support services to help you pick up the slack in running your own venture.
Right now, we are seeing that the businesses that are thriving are those with little or no overhead. Brick and mortar businesses are cashing in their leases and embracing online technologies, and your new business could be one of them.
The key is finding the right marketable product, skill, or service that is something that feels so good to you, that pursuing a self-made career in that thing would not even appear to be like work at all. Ideally, your business venture would be something that you are really passionate about as you share it with others and rake in the cash for doing so.
You came to this planet with a unique set of skills and abilities. Now is the time to embrace the gifts God gave you and let others pay you for doing so. This is the way life was meant to be lived, each one of us fulfilling our own destiny. Industry has tried to make us believe that there is nothing to look forward to other than trying to get a good education and a good job (and they have done a really good job of that over the last 150 years, but we’re not taking it anymore).
