Taking the Leap toward Self-Sufficiency
Wednesday, January 28, 2015
Gloucester City, NJ (Grassroots Newswire) January 28, 2015 Along with
every New Year come new expectations for self-improvement regarding both
personal life and work. While the economy and job market continue to
improve and 2015 is finally here, why spend another year trying to survive
the corporate grind and feeling like you are working on someone elses
dream instead of your own? Gloucester City-area advisors with The
Entrepreneurs Source, an alternative career coaching franchise dedicated
to individuals wanting to explore their option to become self-sufficient,
suggest that it might be time to leave behind the fears of the unknown and
finally take steps toward self-sufficiency and true work-life balance by
pursuing entrepreneurship.
According to these career coaching professionals, corporate America often
creates a rigid and predictable atmosphere for those within and, even
after years of hard work, a huge portion of Americans are still not
confident in their ability to save enough to retire. Work satisfaction is
low and confidence is even lower.
Finally taking the leap toward self-sufficiency through entrepreneurship
in franchising will not only offer a customizable lifestyle, but also
provide you with the tools and resources to invest in your future and the
future of your family, said Terry Powell, founder of The Entrepreneurs
Source. This huge step gives a greater sense of work satisfaction because
youre in control of your venture. Franchises offer you the ability to be
in business for yourself but not by yourself, while giving you the ability
to have the kind of life you want.
Coaches from The Entrepreneurs Source in the Gloucester City area say
that aspiring business owners should start by determining their desired
ILWE® Income, Lifestyle, Wealth and Equity. Meaning: what kind of income
and lifestyle they would like to have in the short term and what kind of
wealth and equity they would like to build in the long term. Consider what
work-life balance means and how to use a business as a vehicle to
achieve it. Going further, the following three factors should be carefully
analyzed to find where the business owner should focus his or her
aspirations:
* Dangers obstacles faced now and obstacles expected in the future
* Opportunities circumstances and possibilities that motivate change
* Strengths talents, capabilities and skills that make each individual
unique and successful
According to Powell, its incredibly important to keep an open mind and
ensure fear does not take over. The most successful business owners are
frequently not experts within the field in which they own a business
they are in the business of business. They have figured out that doing
what you know, love and enjoy does not guarantee success and that you dont
necessarily need to be in love with a product or service in order to be
able to capitalize on it.
And along the way, they have become successful and savvy business
owners, added Powell. Succumbing to fear could potentially stifle
future success and lead you in the wrong direction. We have been helping
individuals explore what it takes to be self-sufficient for over 30 years,
and 95 percent of the business owners weve helped are in a business they
admittedly never would have looked at on their own or would have
prematurely dismissed.
For anyone who has entertained the idea of business ownership and is
