Self Employment Guide

When you are entering the world of self employment, it can be hard to know where to begin. Start by deciding on the business form or entity and a trade name.

A wise friend told me the worst thing you can do is try to find a job in the newspaper because you're trying to fit into someone else's box. You need to define yourself and experience your full potential.

When working for yourself, you have the satisfaction of knowing that extra profits go directly to you, not some distant boardroom. You need to work harder than ever when working for yourself, but it's easy to stay motivated.
