Some people are meant to work for others while others are meant to work for themselves. Recently, I've decided to start my own side business. Let the journey begin.
In February of this year I did freelance work for a friend's company. I'll save you the epic tale and skip to the end: I quit and focused on my day job. One day while I was sitting at my desk, I thought to myself, "Why am I not doing this? I know how. What is stopping me?" Step by step, I've been turning in forms, writing my business plan and even meeting with prospective clients. It has been an experience. I still have a day job, but my goal is to build up clientele and make this business my day and night job. Upon sharing this with a few people, I have received mixed reactions. Most people have been positive, but a few have been hesitant. I have been reminded that starting a business is a lot of "work" and I may not be up to it. My new motto has become "Keep calm and ignore the haters."
No matter what your passion is pursue it. Life is too short not to. Step by step you can do anything; it just takes a little planning.
