Burning Bridges Creates Obstacles to Smooth Traveling
for Business Startups

Before you give up your career and order those cards
for your spanking brand-new business startup, think
twice.

The fact is financial success in a new business start-
up may take a while. If you can transition, rather
than jumping without a parachute, your bank account
will thank you.

First, let’s go over the major “career paths’ you can
choose to earn a living. They are:

1. Employee
2. Self-Employed
3. Business Owner

As an Employee, you are hired to perform a specific
role in a company. Many jobs allow you to leave your
work at work, and spend your free time with your
family, without worry. You also may receive great
benefits, like healthcare, retirement plans, and most
importantly, paid vacation.

If you are considering stepping out of the role of
Employee, you need to make sure that your
dissatisfaction with your job is not job-related. What
I mean by that is, just because you hate your job, it
doesn’t guarantee that you hate all jobs. There are
many opportunities with flex-time and relaxed work
environments, where you can enjoy some of the freedom
of self-employment, without the added responsibility.

If you can, it’s best to start your business while you
still have your job. You can work evenings and
weekends while your business gets started, and ditch
the job only after your business income is greater than
your salary.

So, how can you possibly make as much money part-time
as you can working as an employee full time for someone
else?

It’s actually fairly simple. Skip option two (Self-
Employment) and move right into option three—Business
Ownership.

The reason most people have to work so hard in their
business is because they are Self-Employed. They are
the ones producing the product or service in their
business. The problem with this is that they are
limited to how much time they can personally put into
their business.

If your business does not operate without you doing the
work, it’s very difficult to transition out of the role
of Employee. And if you do, you will probably find
that you work much harder when you are Self-Employed
than you ever did as an employee. Not only are you
doing the production work, you are also in charge of
administration, marketing, finances, and even making
sure there is coffee for the coffeepot.

Consider starting a business that does not rely on you
to perform the work. You could sell a product by mail
order, and outsource fulfillment services. Or start a
service business like cleaning or lawn care, where you
hire staff to perform the work.

Granted, you should ideally have a work environment
that allows you to take care of your business
occasionally during work hours. You could also work
with a partner, so you can share the responsibility,
and cover for each other when necessary.

You could also create an internet business, and
automate many of your activities with technology.

Be creative. Rather than dumping your stable income,
figure out a way to “test the waters” before committing
full time.

In addition to keeping a steady paycheck, you also
benefit by being forced to systematize your business
from Day One.

One of the biggest challenges startup business owners
have is transitioning out of “doing everything”. They
limit their business to only being able to perform what
they can get done, and end up exhausted and frustrated.

If you transition, you’ll be forced to put systems in
place that allow your startup business to work without
you. Your role can be limited to guiding and directing
you business, which is the true role of the business
owner.

Bonus points for playing it safe! Who knew?
