Self-employment Myths

August 10, 2006

A good post by Steve Pavlina on a few self-employment myths. My favorite from his list is #4 Self-employment means putting all your eggs in one basket.

A smart entrepreneur builds multiple income streams. At a glance, it seems risky to attempt build multiple income streams (yet another myth). In truth, it’s the safe thing to do. Even if you have a full-time job, you can use your 9pm-12am time (after the kids are in bed, if you have them) working on your business (or businesses) to add a second stream of income to your primary one.

Remind yourself from time-to-time that you may be subscribing to ideas that when confronted head on, are mythical. These notions are blocking you from making daily progress on your business venture. Fight back!
