Psychology of the Self-Employed - Are you a candidate?
from: Chuck CrawleyDid you know that every week, 125,000 people start a
home based business?
Did you also know that 80% of most small business starts
fail within the first 6 months?
Self-employment, the American Dream, or is it?
First what are the benefits of becoming self-employed.
** Less commuting
** An Escape from the "rat race"
** More time for yourself and your family
** Become your OWN boss
** Unlimited Income potential
A real dream come true!
Exactly what does self-employment mean anyway?
Well, let's break it down.
According to Webster's Desk Dictionary
SELF means, "a person or thing considered as a complete and
separate individual", "by oneself or itself", "a persons nature or
character","independent","automatic","self-operating".
Can you see yourself in the above definitions? If you can't then you
better keep your day job. Remember, 80% of most business startups
fail in the first six months. What will you do after the first six months in
business if you still aren't making a profit?
Here's the Psychology of the Self-Employed:
======================================================
"A person or thing considered as a complete and separate individual"
======================================================
The true self-employed individual is complete in everyway. Head strong
and confident in his purpose and goals. Separate in his convictions, which
places him above the crowd. Different in that he operates based on his own
understanding and beliefs. When all the hype has dissipated, he is still
guided by the Big Picture and continues to move forward. Success in his
mind in imminent.
======================================================
"By oneself or itself, a persons nature or character"
======================================================
The true self-employed does not need to be associated with the crowd.
His vision is complete and clear. Completion of his objective is
driven from within because it is an integal part of his nature. Any
responsibility of setbacks or failures will be absorbed, analyzed and
stored for future use.
======================================================
"Independent, automatic, self-operating"
======================================================
The true self-employed knows how to delegate responsibilities but
will assume them himself if necessary. He is always planning for the
next step with a workable "plan B". He knows where he wants to be and
has the determination and insight to get there (one way or the other).
The Psychology of the SELF-EMPLOYED, Are you a candidate?
Whether you are contemplating making the leap into self-employment
or currently operating a full-time or part-time business, emulating the
above traits will guarantee the success of your endeavor. The real
secret to success in any business can be measured by the Psychology of
the Self-Employed and that secret must come from within.
