I know it's not easy to get started when you really have no idea as to exactly what you want to do. There is so much information on so many types of "jobs" and businesses to start that it can be paralyzing. In 2002 I was on the top of my game in distribution sales. Then all of a sudden at the end of the first quarter of 2003, I was out of a "job". As good as the money was, it was still just a job.

I started a service business and it too is doing well. But if you are not careful, it will own you. When you start a service business at first you are the business. You do it all. There will come a point where you will have to make a decision. Either grow, hire and put youself into the position of "owner" or grow tired of your "business" as you are doing it all.

There is on other option and that is to do something once and get paid forever. Easy said but to me, the better choice. You can do something you love (follow your passion) or you can follow the money. My opinion is that if you enjoy what you are doing, then the money along with everything else will take care of itself. (Of course you do have to work at anything you do to be successful)

Listen, don't get me wrong and think you can just jump out there and things will be peachy, not so. There is more work in being the owner than the employee, but the rewards are 10 times greater.

So what's the secret? Make a decision, act on your decision and do it with all your passion never looking back.

You can do this!
