Hypocrisy feels weird, like Pam Anderson’s asymmetrical silicon filled twins. The reason I bring up hypocrisy is that my astute readers would have noticed the immense emphasis I’ve put on retaining that treacherous 9 to 5 while making the transition to be your own boss. But remember that famous Einstein saying that says: insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Well I’m changing it up.

1. More Time To Work On Your Business:

You spend more than half of your day making some other man rich, by the time the clock turns your way at the end of the work day your already exhausted. This cycle will continue leaving you with no time to work on your assets and build your own business.

2.You Are Forced To Be Creative:

When your not sure where your next check is coming from, you suddenly obtain that hustlers mentality. Being frugal, witty negotiation, looking for the best deal, cheap but genius marketing techniques; these are just a few weapons you would suddenly possess in your arsenal.

3. You Learn To Be Focused:

When your working and trying to start up , it’s extremely easy to get sidetracked.That good looking  administrative assistant will stay in your mind all the way home, then when you get home; you spend three hours fabricating a scenario that you hope would lead to a conversation. Or not meeting deadlines, then you end up going home with a stack of manila folders and a deep sense of false appreciation. When you don’t have a job, none of these scenarios would exist and hopefully you’ll be focused; if anything goes wrong you have no one to blame but yourself.

4.  You Stay  Driven:

When you’re first starting out, you have this burning desire to succeed. You want to do it all; designer the flyers, print the flyers and even go hand out the flyers. Hanging around your measly cubicle for another 15 months until you feel you have enough start up capital will put the brakes on your motivation. Before you know it your moronic co-workers will try and force all types of rubbish down your throat in an effort to drag you down to corporate America hell with them.

5.  Start Early, Get Rich Early:

“Timing is everything” we’ve all heard it , and I’ll be honest here it’s true. But if you keep waiting for the perfect time, where is the challenge, the opportunity to learn and gain experience? You become predictable to rivals, and your ease at achieving success will be your downfall ,because you haven’t prepared yourself failure.

Like I said I’m changing things up. I’ve been working full time  and building a business at night; I haven’t seen any significant changes so, I’ve giving my two weeks notice.
