invest 10 years with no salary but ability to conquer the future

Life is not about what is in front of your eyes today but after 20 years

Whether you're running your own business or working as an independent contractor, you'll soon realize that working

for yourself isn't just another job, it's a way of life.

Are you someone who likes a nine-to-five routine and collecting a regular paycheck? When you're self-employed,

you must be willing to make sacrifices for the sake of the job. You're going to work long hours, which means that you

won't have as much time as you used to for family or leisure activities. And if the cash flow becomes a trickle, you're

going to be the last one to get paid.

Can you get along well with all types of people? Being self-employed is all about managing relationships--with your

clients or customers, your suppliers, perhaps with your employees, certainly with your family, and probably with your

banker, lawyer, and accountant, too. If you're the type who wants to be alone to do the few things that you're good

at, then you should do that--for someone else.

Are you a disciplined self-starter? Being self-employed means that you're your own boss. There may be days when

you'll have to make yourself sit at your desk instead of going for a long lunch, or (especially if you work out of your

home) place those business calls instead of reading the newspaper.

Finally, do you enjoy wearing many hats? Depending on your line of work, you may be involved in handling

marketing and sales duties, financial planning and accounting responsibilities, administrative and personnel

management chores--or all of the above

WHERE YOU SPEND YOUR TIME MEANS WHERE YOU PLACE YOUR DREAMS

Think about how great it will feel to get paid to do what you'd love to do anyway. If you're working for yourself,

chances are you'll be doing work that you enjoy. You'll get to pick who you'll work for or with, and in most cases

you'll work with your customers or clients directly--no go-between muddying the waters. As a result, you may have

days when it hardly feels as if you're working at all. Such harmony between your working life and the rest of your life

is what attracted you to self-employment in the first place.

Being your own boss means that you'll be in control of all of the decisions affecting your working life. You'll decide

on your business plan, your quality assurance procedures, your pricing and marketing strategies--everything. You'll

have job security; you can't be fired for doing things your way. As you perform a variety of tasks related to your work,

you'll learn new skills and broaden your abilities.

You'll even have the flexibility to decide your own hours of operation, working conditions, and business location. If

you're working out of your home, your start-up costs may be reduced. You'll also experience lower operating costs;

after all, you'll be paying for the rent and utilities anyway. If the location of your work isn't important (perhaps you're a

freelance writer or a consultant), you can live wherever you want. At any rate, if you work at home, you'll greatly

reduce your daily commuting time and expense.

If all goes well and you're making money, chances are you can make more than you did working for someone else.

And since you're working for yourself, you may not have to share the proceeds with anyone else. The fruits of your

labor will be all yours, because you own the vineyard

where you put energy hope to get back in productive way be cautions on trading your time!!
