You have to completely forget about the 9-5 time clock world. There are no set hours and no guarentees when the day starts or ends. Listen to Allan and make the commitment to working for yourself. I deal with a lot of real wealthy people. Not one punches a clock. I am not a rich man but honest to God I have been on my own for well over six years, there hasn't been a day since that I woke up and didn't want to go to work. I haven't put in an 8 hour day or a 40 hour week either; usually 10-14 hr days. At the end of the day I know what I am worth. Self employment isn't usually get rich quick. But not all riches fill your wallet either. What is it you really enjoy and are good at? When you are working for yourself you are going to do every job better than the average joe working for someone else whether it is sucking septics or taxidermy stitching. Some one is willing to pay you for it and usually pay you better because the job is done better. Service industies are huge. The loss of your job could be a huge opportunity in diguise. Most of us are trained from kindergarden that an eduacation gets you a good job. No, it makes you marketable. The skills you have ammassed are worth more than you are getting paid or your boss wouldn't have hired you. Companies invest in their workers skills; you can invest too. All big leaps are scary and there will be more people that tell you you can't rather than tell you you can. YOu have to compare the people behind the two mindsets. Which people are the more successful. Some quick early on advice though. It isn't against the law to have more than one job (i have worked up to four part timers at one time). Credit card companies and bankers are not your friends. They can be great tools just like hand grenades and razor blades. Don't sleep with any of them. I have never had a low spot in my life or disapointment so great I can't look back and thank God it happened for the opportunities that were made available to me because of them. Good luck. If I can help let me know. Bill

Today's Featured Article -
Farmall 460: That's My Girl - by LeAnn R. Ralph. How many sounds can you think of that are as familiar to you as your own breathing? What about the hum of your refrigerator? Or the thump of your clothes dryer? Maybe the engine of your car? You hear those sounds every day, and you don't think much about them, do you. I can think of a few common, ordinary sounds in my daily life, too.
