Address the shortage “structural” employment opportunities, has emerged the need to create one’s own work and thus find an economically profitable and sustainable over time.
This trend is constantly growing: high unemployment, underemployment, employment contracts and perverse violence in many companies to their employees causes them to think about other alternatives to personal development.
By this I mean that large numbers of people, many of them from state or private companies with no previous experience, training or vocation for independent activity, are forced to think about working on their own. One challenge is not for everyone.
I would like to list some ideas put forward to defend what is called “own business”, “independent work”, “own business”, “microenterprise”, etc..
To be your own boss
Power, independence, freedom, self-
Owning what you do not have anyone to report
Develop the ideas and creativity
Generate income, growth and profits that you can reap by itself
Administering and managing a personal business
Doing what you want.
Etc, etc..
All these assumptions correspond to a greater or lesser extent certain idealization, read “lone hero” that we all harbor in a little place of the heart. We like to think the face of adversity by opposing own resources. I believe those who choose this path have a predilection for these mythic images. It is true that the “autonomous” or “independent” always existed. The companies owe their birth to a hero with these features: a visionary, a dreamer who ran away to realize what he perceived as “their” business or opportunity.
Currently, the myth still exists and has the same followers of intuition always alone, smell and courage must be complemented by many other qualities and requirements: planned management, needs assessment, market potential and marketing, business plan, profitability , costs, feasibility and resources, etc..
Ie dreams, myths and legends have it kneaded with accounts, market analysis and strategic planning.
Pragmatically speaking:
1) Be your own boss means being willing to work 12 hours or more per day
2) Power and independence means making decisions and choosing options
3) Owning means facing all risks and responsibilities for running the business
4) Creativity is to have the ingenuity to overcome obstacles and find viable alternatives at each stage of the business or activity
5) Generate revenue and earnings is economically support themselves and learn about costs, cash flow and profitability.
6) Administer and manage the company is careful to establish an organization, know how to delegate, plan objectives, establish priorities and importance and having the head always open to change the fly if necessary.
7) Do what you want is actually what most should make for a successful business and be willing to revise their own ideas, seek advice and learn, learn and learn.
