Don't Wait For Someone to Hand You Your Dream Job

Don't Wait For Someone to Hand You Your Dream Job

Create it yourself! Every day, billions of people all over the world go to work in jobs they hate. They do this because they think it's the only way to make a living. But what if there was another way? What if you could create your own dream job?

Job security itself is rare in a world where technological change and economic unpredictability are both constant. Many jobs are simply gone while others are slowly being outsourced and automated. As the 9-to-5 work day continues to be a tiresome grind for so many Americans, the dream of owning a business and being in control is one that persists. Yet less than .01 % of the population take the leap into business ownership each year.

A study by the University of California found that less than 50% of business last five years. 42% fail due to lack of customers and 30% ran out of cash. Making that dream of business ownership a reality is much easier said than done. It takes a lot of hard work, dedication and often, financial sacrifice. Those who are successful in achieving their goal of owning a business will tell you it was worth it in the end. But even they will admit that it’s not always easy.

While these statistics may be daunting, there are ways to reduce the risks of starting a business. One way is to thoroughly research the market to ensure there is a demand for your product or service. Another way is to create a detailed financial plan to ensure you have the capital you need to sustain your business.

Despite the risks, starting your own business is the safest way to achieve your desired life. Being a business owner provides you with a level of control that no job can provide. Regardless of the outcome, those who have taken the leap say its an incredible experience. If you do your research and have a solid business plan, you will increase your chances of success.
