Comments on: Is your own business really more risky than working for someone else? http://mikepaetzold.com/information/is-your-own-business-really-more-risky-than-working-for-someone-else/ Articles, Recommendations and Business Building Information Mon, 14 Nov 2011 07:50:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Brett McEllhiney http://mikepaetzold.com/information/is-your-own-business-really-more-risky-than-working-for-someone-else/comment-page-1/#comment-8990 Brett McEllhiney Sat, 03 Jan 2009 04:37:17 +0000 http://mikepaetzold.com/?p=638#comment-8990 You are so right Mike,

The beauty of this business is that you CAN start while still working a full or part time job and begin building your online business to a point where you no longer need that full or part time job.

There are some initial start-up and monthly costs, but those are minimal compared to the offline world.

BTW: I am for a major automotive manufacturer and no, it is not one of the big three. While they have not asked for a bailout that’s not to say that times aren’t tough, because they are very tough right now.

I personally am in the process of growing my own online business to a point where I do not have to worry about whether I have a job each day when I go to work.

Thanks for such a great post and keep ‘em coming!

The difference is when you hire an employer they have the power to unhire you, or zig when you know they should zag. When you are working for yourself, you are in charge, but that can be lonely, and while you may have strong skills in one or more areas, you usually have weaknesses as well. Thus, when you go the lone wolf route, be sure to find a group or others you can work with. That way you can hope to cover some of your weaknesses while maintaining control of your own destiny. <abbr><em>Earl Netwal´s last blog post..<a href="http://microbusinessspecialist.com/?p=120">Marketing in a Recession - A plan for offline businesses</a></em></abbr><div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8987','Earl Netwal'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('8987','Earl Netwal','Whether you work for someone else or your self, you are always working for yourself.

Your own business is less risky, you can only blame yourself. But many home businesses do fail as well.
