People often ask me how I found the courage to quit my job and start my own business. A lot of those people assume I had everything figured out when I quit. Nothing could be further from the truth. I started my business with zero customers, zero products, and only a vague idea. I made the leap into a very uncertain future yet somehow it didn’t seem that crazy at the time. You see I knew in my heart that I needed to be my own boss. 

I’ve been self employed now for 31 years and counting. In fact I often joke that I am chronically unemployable. Mostly because the thought of working for someone else makes me want to throw up. But make no mistake the life of an entrepreneur is not a fit for everyone. A lot of people make the leap telling themselves that it is a lifestyle that they want. In many cases, people are attracted to the freedom and independence, but fail to take into account the key attributes of successful entrepreneurs.

Today I want to share with you 5 signs that you may be ready to be your own boss. 

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I’d love to hear your thoughts, comments, and stories, or just make a connection.
