Being Self-Employed

What does being self-employed look like? If you're thinking of starting your own home-based business, you probably have an idea of what your life will look like. How will it be different from what you're accustomed to? Will you spend more time sleeping, reading, travelling, parenting or working? Being an entrepreneur still requires work because you are running a business after all. The difference is that you keep all the profits and not just a small fraction.

Many people dream of being self-employed but don't seriously assess the risks and benefits. The risks are that there is no guarantee of a steady paycheck. The benefit is that the sky is the limit when it comes to income. No set wages means you decide what you will earn. After all, you're the employer, right? Another huge benefit for me is that I decide how much vacation I can take. When I worked as a nurse, I was very limited in both the amount I could earn and in the amount of vacation I could take. I wasn't even allowed time off without pay!

Some other considerations include the integrity of the company as well as the training and support being provided. Also, I needed to know the investment required and if products needed to be stocked and shipped. The company I chose to work with, Liberty League International, exceeded my requirements. The compensation plan is the best in the business, the training and support are over the top, and I can conduct the business anywhere with a cell phone and a laptop computer. If being self-employed like this sounds interesting to you, contact me. My business is helping people just like you.
