A bit of enouragement to Earn your own Freedom

I hope this will inspire you to start your own business, but if you need further encouragement take a look at my note below.

You don't have to wait for that job especially since nowadays, it's hard to get your freedom or even hardly make living off these companies no matter what degrees you have. Though some people eventually make it big with these companies but there's only a very few. Nowadays we all live to work while people used to work to live.

This is 2009 and I have been contemplating so many things to do with my life especially since the last quarter of 2008 has been a very tormenting one especially because of the credit crunch and the lay-offs all over the world.

So I decided to do something with my life after a deep thought that it’s not going anywhere and though in the classrooms, I have done a very hard job. Burnt the night candles, spent the time working on assignments, read most textbooks and got them all dog-eared. Unfortunately, these certificates don’t put money in your accounts nor does it earn you more respect than what you get among peers. I work with a company within the FTSE250 league and still cannot afford to pay my bills, which is not a very good ROI after the so much that has been spent in sorting out my academics.

Then came the inspiration to do as a colleague of mine. Start up a mini Internet business. After a deep thought, the name was chosen to reflect what it’ll be doing. http://mydailyvouchers.com is a database of voucher codes, discounts and promotions offered by shops, retail stores, departmental stores, all kind of service providers and in fact whatever is there to think about.

Starting a home business might seem a very daunting idea for someone who is not that experienced nor has a huge amount of money to spend but it is well worth it because of the advantages it offers over working for someone.

I must admit there are some disadvantages as well and most is cash flow but that shouldn’t deter you from starting your own website which could eventually be a gate to independence. My advice is, think of what you want to do. Make a list of what interests and how it could be a gateway to freedom. Be ready to work very hard because any business is very hard to take off from ground. If your business involves some investment, you might still be working your full time job and then use that money to fund your new small business and as soon as the business takes off and you feel you could make a living off it, then I’ll advice to leave your job and focus fully on it so as to be able to take it to another level.

Good luck with whatever business you choose.
