Start Your Own Business

When you start your own business, you assume a lot of control and you get a lot of freedom. However, many folks are surprised at how much work it actually entails to start your own business. You are the one responsible for everything. And, if you're a one-person-show (as is often the case for consultants), you're responsible for sales and marketing as well as the actual work you for which you are paid. Most people find themselves working longer hours than they did before. But, having once enjoyed self employment, many entrepreneurs cannot imagine going back to working for someone else.
