Working For Yourself

In this episode, I look back on my journey and think about questions I asked myself before working for myself.  Have you ever thought about what it would be like to work for yourself? "Be your own boss" as they say!  I have been working for myself for over a decade and I talk about everything involved in pursuing this idea.

Topics in this Episode:

• 1. Could I survive, financially and psychologically?
• 2. 'Could I work alone, and without encouragement?
• 3. Do I want to learn marketing, sales, accounting, etc.?
• Marketing: so you can sell more
• Management: so you won't be alone
• Planning: so you can scale and stay competitive
• Adaptability: in case your plan doesn't pan out
• 4. When it comes down to it, am I an overachiever?
• 5. 'Would I be a good mentor?
• 6. Do You Really Want to Be Your Own Boss?

In this episode, I talk about when I was young and naive. Sometimes you can be over-trusting and think people you have worked with are trustworthy.  Don't be fooled by their smiles and small talk. Today I tell you about a time when the people you think are friends in fact are very nosy and malicious

It is hard to trust people when they let you down.  I am quiet and confident I know what I want and I will always help others on my journey to also do well.

Next episode I tell you how you should find when you need to move on and pick who you work with and how to set up your business when you reach the requirements. When you have issues that set you back or your mind and fault back it's time to question if you are the right type of person to work for yourself. That's our topic in the next episode Are you the right type of person to work for yourself?
