Now is a good time to become self-employed!

What time is better than now when everything around us is falling apart, job security is a thing of the past and paychecks just don't seem to stretch as far? People let's not forget that this country was founded by it's entrepreneurs and small business owners. Take a little time to think about where your passions truly lie and brainstorm ways of making money with these passions. You may discover hidden talent you never knew you possessed or refurbish old ones, sparking the flame you need to get started on your way to lucrative self-employment as well as create your own job security in the process.

A wise person once told me if you follow your passions you will not have to worry about money. It's definitely easier said then done in the realities of adult life. Which is one reason it is of course good to start young. However for those of us that are in the here in now of adulthood we must use this down time now to prepare a better future for ourselves and our families. Let's not worry so much about the perils of the unknown when in fact that is what we step into every time we step foot into another's office. We are on their playing ground and expendable at any time. I don't know about you but that is not a comfortable way to live. Most of us feel we can run the show better anyhow so let's use this time to prove it to ourselves, secure our own employment and create our own sustainable lifestyle.
