Small Business-Independence and Control
A lot of people start small businesses because they want more control over their lives and a have a strong independent spirit that prevails inside of them. These are very powerful motivators and are probably responsible for more small business set ups than even the desire to make more money. In fact, when people are really passionate they often say things like "I'm not doing this for the money" or "the money is not important" or "the money will follow". Herein lies the problem. If making a lot of money is not your primary goal, you probably won't make a lot of money. You may end up settling for a lot less than you could get as an employee.
In my distant past, I set up a business to make the best natural fresh sausages available. We eventually made about 33 varieties of great sausages but made very little money so I closed the business. http://www.colmcmaher.com/small-sausage-business.html Too much effort, too little money. Independence and control were there but if the money is not there, it really doesn't matter.
What if you have a strong desire to own and operate your own small business? You could think of our part time business options. You can keep your job and your pay cheque and start one of these businesses part time. http://www.colmcmaher.com/small-business-ideas.html. This way you are still working on developing your desire to be in control of your life, satisfying your instinct for independence and most importantly, you still have a good cash flow. You can keep your job until your business develops enough cash flow to replace your job. You can have the best of both worlds.
