A recent online poll in Memphis suggests more people are consider starting their own business.
The vast majority of those taking part in a Memphis Business
Journal online poll said they have considered starting their own
business in the past year.68 percent of those who responded said they have had urges to go it alone to one degree or another.
The story continues…
At least one reader said that only through working for themselves will they feel compensated for their real value.
“I have worked for a large corporation for 29 years. Sadly, it has
taken me that long to realize that I will never make the money I am
worth as long as I’m working for someone else,” they wrote. “We
experience more and more losses to attrition, are completely
overworked, and are told over and over again how we need to cut
spending. . . Meanwhile, our execs are making millions upon millions of
dollars with stupendous stock options. I blame myself for getting
sucked in to the cycle. To rectify my mistake, I must look at options
for starting my own business.”

Good. I agree with the fact that working for your own self will get you more money, but this also depends on the fact that how much experience a person has. Any how working or starting your own business is always a good idea. Good Topic….keep posting….
Thanks..

I have been downsized twice from the financial sector. No job is safe from a downsize. Everybody is replacable. I now work from home and I have nobody to blame but myself if I don’t make enough money.

Yes I felt the same way about not being paid what I was worth after working for a firm for 17 years, puting my all into it , and seeing coworkers not doing their jobs and making the same money! So finally I had had enough and went out on my own. I am so much happier working for myself, even though at first not making near as much, just loosing the stress, makes a big difference.

I can totally understand people wanting to own their own business. I know from personal experience because I am self employed. It is definitely challenging and there can be a lot of risk involved. To anyone considering, best of luck to you!!

I believe the one of the most important aspects of a home business, if not the MOST important, is the product or products you are working with. You must be able to sell long term more than just a business. That, and definitely a lot of determination and hard work. As in the words of Jim Rohn, “Economic disaster begins with a philosophy of doing less and wanting more.” Best wishes to all in 2009!

That seems to be the story for many Americans. Give em’ an inch and they’ll take a mile! No one appreciates hard work any more. You can waste your whole life trying to make something of your self working for someone else or you can start achieving it today by doing what works for you. I took my own plan of action. I kept my job, but started a few after work techniques to make money. I found a site that helped me out more than words could express. It’s called your work from home place .com. They have a few different ways of making money from home and online I know you’ll find interesting. Good luck with everything. *Gib*
