| Stressed Out and Peaceful |
Business man, or Self-EmployedThis ones going to be really quick, not like the Longsense Nonsense I usually write.Once, while attending some or other course I have been on, I got speaking to someone about my plans. he made a comment what made me think, and it was actually very true. He said to me, that my plans of running a business where unlike a lot of other peoples that he speaks to, essentially because I wanted to create a Running Business, while most others Businesses where merely a form of Self Employment. Right now, I wont lie, I am Self Employed, I do OK, but to be a Real Business I need to be making money even when I personally am not doing any work. A builder has a good business, but when he doesnt work, he doesnt get paid. A construction company however, the owner probably never sets foot on a site anymore, as clients ring an office, manned by a secretary, who arranges the job with the workers perhaps(maybe not the secretary does that but you get what I mean) and the owner just gets to see his cheques! THAT, is the hardest transition between Self Employment and Being a business, although with the internet its is somewhat different, but basically when you can control a workforce that takes responsiblity of running your business then your are truly "In Business". Thats just my thoughts though. Lots of webmasters are self-employed, because they dont work smart enough to build and move on to the next level of their businesses and truly become a business. Example is this, until April 2004 I was building and submitting every single day for about a year, and it made me some decent sales I was averaging 20+ sales a week at that time. Then, for reasons maybe I shall disclose another day I spent a few months of my life in prison, during which I lost my server due to my delegated party not doing what they where asked and paying my fees, so all my sites went down, and since I got out I havent really ever built it back up again. Saying that, still some of my sites where on sponsor servers and free hosts etc just not too many, but still they give me a small amount of money each month for doing nothing. NOW, If I had been truly smarter, I would have ensured that all those hours I had put in at the start would still be benefiting me now, and would have made sure that the people around me and working with me wohere more reliable etc but such is life and you live and learn. 3:56 PM - Thursday, August 25, 2005
