Yes.. there was a time I was fed up of the over competitive corporate world.. I decided to be on my own.But it was not too much rewarding.

It was not giving a lot of money.. and I jumped back to a full time job.. but even today… I do not feel myself a part of this place and want to do something on my own… Along with intelligence, being an entrepreneur requires one

1) have immense patience
2) Money to keep going
3) Internal strength to live a few poor days and keep working towards converting them into rich days

I’ve been on “my own” since a week before Christmas 2013. I made the decision to figure it out instead of just going to look for another gig. And I have. Sure at times it has been more unpredictable than I would prefer, but what more people are realizing is that even with a salary, that’s becoming unpredictable too.

In reply to Barbara Saunders. A somewhat chilling comment, to be sure...but I suspect this will ring true with a significant chunk of readers!

What some of the naysayer comments ignore: not everyone does well in corporate. It’s one thing if you’ve got a relatively secure job that pays the bills, decent benefits, and you can pretty much manage your life. What if your job barely pays the bills, is precarious, and is literally making you physically sick from the stress?

Sunshine up the ***? OK. But sometimes the choice is really between a hard, difficult path to self-employment or an early grave.

Chris thanx for the writing and motivation.
Being in a Finance Role, I at the Centre of the Corporate System.
And seeing the Boys club and outsourcing companies is sickening!!!!
So I shall embrace my freedom, and let you know of my progress!

I can’t tell you how disgusted I am with management in a corporate workplace especially with the outsourcing companies I used to work for. They really had my blood boiling when they fired me. But it’s ok though I really deserve my time at home and my freedom.

Fantastic article here, I to was in corporate life for sixteen years until one day I woke up to all the stresses and irrational decisions and the blame game that was constantly being played by the head executives.

So on New Years Eve 2001, (thats right I have been free as a bird for 10 years) I walked into my boss and gave him my notice I have been working full time online ever since and have never looked back.

Working for yourself is the way to go, just take the leap and see where you land it can not be any worse than having a corporate job.

Great article. This is all so true. I’ve been working for myself for years and worked a “corporate” job after finishing my Masters for 3 years. Compared to working for yourself, corporate jobs are the worst but it is important to work in one I think after college so you know what you are up against. Half of the people in the corporate world do not know much. A lot of them front with their degrees and name drop. Real recognize real. They get hung up on CCs in emails, payroll nonsense and OMG your 6 minutes late. Killjoys. The man or woman that started the business is the smart one. They know this.

You gotta hustle though and don’t listen to the non believers. Small business to Big business and working for yourself is where its at. The web is where it is and where it will continue to go. We are still in the beginning of all of this.
