Are You Sick of the 9 to 5 Grind?—Buy a Business and Work for Yourself

I recall reading a study that indicated 74% of people actually hate their job and dread going to work every morning.  What would your life look like if you owned your own business?  The simple fact that you are working 9am to 5pm is incentive enough to think about making a change.  Add the commute back and forth to work and most of your day is spent working for someone else, doing something you hate; in other words, you hate most of your life!  It's time to stop making excuses and start making a change-motivate and create a path to success:

 "I just don't have the time."

 

  • Focus on your goal, not your problems or excuses

 

  • Get educated; read books, attend seminars and workshops on weekends and evenings

 

  • Network with other business owners-get the word out that you are looking to buy a business

 

  • Search the internet for a business during "off hours"

 

 "I'm too old."

 

  • I said to my cousin, "I just can't believe you're turning 50!"  She said, "It's okay; fifty is the new 35!"

 

  • Colonel Saunders was 67 when he went into the Kentucky Fried Chicken business

 

  • 35-55 is a great time to go into business for your self.  You have years of working and acquiring skills and experience.  You have developed the wisdom and to be able to identify your strongest skills and the patience to persevere.

 

"I don't have enough money."

  

 Money is the point of all this and you don't need as much as you think. 

 

  • Start small and build something big

 

  • Ask for seller financing-if the seller is motivated, he'll be inclined to agree.  This way, he still gets to collect some cash flow from the business without having to run the business.  There are also tax advantages to seller financing rather than getting paid off in one big payment at the time of sale.

 

So, problems are just excuses.  Go on doing what you are doing and nothing will change.  You will never have the time, you will continue to grow older, and you will not have enough money.  Why not make the change?  So many others have done it before you, and many more will after you.

 

Motivate and create a new career and start your new life now!

Addressing only the title of your post...

Yeah, then you can relax while working 24-7  :-)

 

Seriously, I'm a whole-hearted believer in being self-employed.  Having spent 25 years in middle-management, I have known no greater reward than answering only to myself and my clients.
