In the past you worked for a business and every week you got paid on the dot and everything was okay – nothing special but you had no doubts. The boss drove up in his shiny new car; in the mean time you drove about in your ten year old clapped out box on wheels – obviously he was doing something better than you! Unquestionably it’s time for a change; and the only person preventing you is yourself! Set-up your own skate shop business right away! Working your own skate shop business is possibly something you have contemplated for loads of years; although what has prevented you before? It’s apparent that being your own boss may be the hardest thing you ever do, however imagine the rewards.
So how do you run a new venture? You have constantly been the one who is told what to do. Immediately the shoe is truly on the other foot – you allocate the orders now.
However what guidelines do you give to your employees? What signals do you send out? How do you realize if what you are saying or doing is the appropriate thing for your new skate shop business? It was easy in the past…the boss spoke…and you executed what he/she said then you got remunerated at the end of the day. Having your own business is a little trickier, if you get things wrong now, not only will you not get remunerated (or get paid less), your decisions could impact detrimentally upon your workers.
Be sensible when operating your own business – for sure you want to make money, but not at all costs. What are the costs of business compared with just being an employee? You have more responsibility to yourself, your relatives and staff if you have any – they are all reliant on you for their financial security. Gulp! Running your own business often means working longer hours and you may possibly not make any cash from working those longer hours where formerly you may have got paid per hour/day. A guaranteed wage!
Although, of course, the money helps!
Were you one of those in education? Who’s class report said…”Nothing good will come out of this person!” What a feeling that would be to go back into your old school and say to your old teacher – “look I’m operating my own business now – how is the teaching going these years?”
In reality there are at all times a blend of features at play and no two separate entrepreneur conform to the same kind; in a large corporation people become institutionalized although with your own business you get to do things your own way and motivate the staff you have (assuming you have any).
Not many people begin their own business – most people do not have that “daring do”. The point is do you have it? Are you motivated to achieve something in business as well as in life?
