I’ve always been independent minded. First born of 4 children and with a single mom, I had quite a bit of reponsibility for helping out at an early age. Responsiblity is no stranger to me, neither is being compensated for a job well done — my mother made sure she gave me an allowance out of her meager earnings long before I was 10 years old! Naturally, by the time I went to high school [at the age of 14] wanting to wear the latest trend [girls were now allowed to wear pants!] motivated me to earn ‘extra’ money above my allowance — which had increased substantially. So I took a summer job babysitting my music teacher’s only child — a great job for a very wonderful family!
No stranger to ‘getting a job’ it seemed I possessed some type of magic during lean times, layoffs and down sizings. When not working a ‘9-to-5′ I had some type of ‘hustle’ to earn legitimate income, however, I never considered myself as being ’self-employed’ or even ‘my own boss’ material. For decades I watched friends with businesses and/or full time paying ‘hustles’ [band members, pro-am sports atheletes, 'gamers,' etc.] and thought they possessed some magic that caused them to believe in their abilities to generate the income required to support themselves in their chosen lifestyles. I remember wondering what was it about them that made them so self-assured and capable, especially since I only had short ’stints’ of supporting myself and young family while taking a six-month to 1-year break from ‘working.’
Through the years and the varied corporations/fields that I’ve worked in, I began realizing that I was as smart and capable as all my co-workers and the majority of my supervisers. Still augmenting my income with side-jobs of my own design, I longed to ‘be my own boss’ one day. I truly wanted to know the formula or ingredient that it took to be successful in business.
In 2006 I took my savings, quit my ‘job’ and moved cross country with the intent to begin a new career as an independent tax preparer. It was a good idea in the wrong market and I didn’t make the amount of money that I wanted, although I made some invaluable contacts in the process. Yet, that illusive ‘it’ that others in the parent company had that were making substantial earnings appeared to be a deficit within me.
With 2008 winding down and amid national economic chaos, I’ve had the opportunity to realize I’ve always been an entrepreneur! Choosing the ways that I would make ‘extra’ cash; working in areas that afforded me mobility, high earnings and great hours along with the courage and determination to switch jobs/fields and move into newly developed arenas [website administration, etc.] are all the qualities it takes to be self-employed.
The internet and the information age, combined with global access, creates infinite income possibilities and opportunities for EVERYONE that is able to recognize the Entrepreneur within. Take some time and assess your work ethic, skills, experience, motivation and determination levels. Have you ever been told you are the best at anything you enjoy doing? Has anyone ever requested you to bring a winning recipe to a gathering or event? Do you have a passion that demands you perfect your command of it? If so, you possess exactly what it takes to get started in business for yourself!
Aside from writing, I’m still possessed of the ‘first born’ passion: looking at ways to get things done correctly and quickly; looking out for and helping those ‘coming up behind me’ and knowing that I am up to the challenge of being responsible/trust worthy in the process. When I say that ANYBODY can make a living and/or earn cash via the internet doing only what they WANT to do, you can certainly believe me — I’m real good at ‘walking the walk’ that I talk!
