1. Having a Job is Way too Risky!!!!!!!
When you have a J.O.B. (JUST OVER BROKE), someone can take away your income just by uttering two words: “You’re Fired.” This is happening more and more as companies crumble in the face of global changes in commerce. Those 2 words do not exist in your own business.
If you ask me, there’s nothing secure about that. Especially for older citizens who find it difficult or next to impossible to get hired due to age or health related problems that limit the type of work they can do.
When you enjoy your own business, and a client or customer moves on – then guess what? You get to say, “Next!”
2. No Bonus Pay for Messing Up
When you mess up at your job, you get punished, maybe even a pay-cut. Then you have to run around “making nice” to the people who might lay you off or promote someone else who’s younger and “hungry.” (Hungry for what? More time at the office?)
When one of my clients faces challenges in her business, I cheer. She’s getting paid to learn! Every mistake teaches her more about how to succeed.
Instead of getting an MBA – she’s getting a TBF. (Trial by Fire! 
) TBF’s can really pay-off!
On my own, but not alone, in my office, my own business
3. Your Ceiling isn’t Adjustable.
Often, I think about how hard I worked in my other life….ahem…corporate jobs. I’ve always been the type to give more than I get….work more hours than I get paid for…take work home for goodness sakes. Bet you know what I’m talking about. But, no matter how much more I gave…or how expert I became….once I reached the top salary of that particular billet….I couldn’t make more.
When I talk to new clients now about the possibilities being endless in owning their own business, their eyes light up. They stop thinking in terms of “hours for dollars,” and start thinking of passive income. (Hey, why not get paid while you sleep?)
In a job, you can’t adjust your income based on the value you provide. Instead you have to ask for a raise. Not fun, doesn’t always work and if you don’t get the raise…it affects your self-esteem.
Give yourself a raise anytime you want ….on a daily basis….by simply being who you are and sharing with others.
