The longer I work in the corporate world, the more I realise how I need to start my own business

every job unless you are your own boss is the same, doesn't matter how great you are at your job you can walk into work on monday get called to a meeting and a hr manager is there with your boss and they are telling you that they are letting you go.

The same can happen with being your own boss

the market can change overnight. Vendors can fukk you and customers can not support you

it’s best to understand you’re there to get paid and not let any of this define you

I mean, I make decent money and I like the job, but the constant ass kissing, knowing that someone has your career in their hands and could end it, slaving away to make someone else very rich and knowing you’ll never ever come close to being wealthy even if you reach the top of this company is depressing. And all for at best six figures a year before taxes.

Start my own business, control my own destiny, when I’m slaving away putting in mega hours a week, I know I’m building something for myself and that’ll push me even further. It’s hard and I could settle for the comfort of a regular paycheck in corporate but it’ll just make me depressed and wonder if. Given the choice between making 60k a year from my own business and 100k a year working for someone else, I’ll pick the former easily.

I’ve been saying it for a long time but a series of events at work has made me realise how vulnerable I really am in this corporate world and it’s time I took my own destiny in my hands. Also I’m not married, no kids and no baggage so I’ve got nothing to lose.

Rather than ask you a million questions about what business you’d start I’m gonna tell you to “just start.”

here’s a resource. Good luck.

Just START!

Just make sure you 1) know the risks inherent in starting your own business, 2) truly believe in the idea and 3) have a path to securing capital and executing.

A lot of people thinking entrepreneurship is an immediate cure for their professional unhappiness without understanding that it will be far more stressful and, at times, seemingly hopeless in the initial stages (i.e. poor execution / unpreparedness, product / service underperforming, lack of steady income while the bills remain steady).

Make sure you've taken the proper steps financially before making that move.

Who says you gotta kiss anybody’s ass?!

And find your passion or something you are passionate about that can change your life financially. Grind that for a couple years until you become financially independent.
