Home Based Business Job Information
Job Hopper, Loyal Employee, or Savvy Business Owner?
Many people need to change jobs at least once every two to three years. If they do not, their salary usually stagnates, while the salaries of their job-hopping peers increase substantially. Often, the job market values job hoppers and penalizes loyal employees. Too many people have found themselves, after 10 years or more with one employer, cast adrift. Whether the reason was downsizing, office politics, or something else, it makes little difference. Job hunting then becomes extremely difficult, as a long-term employee frequently appears to be “branded” with his former employer’s name, as if he were company property.
If the former long-term employee is more than 35 years old, prospects are generally even worse, thanks to society’s ingrained ageism.Yet, if that same person launches his or her own business, what was once viewed as “baggage” is now considered wisdom and experience.
Calculating the Costs and Risks of Work At Home Business Self-Employment
Before you give notice, however, it is important to realize that you are taking on a whole new set of risks when you launch your own business. And along with those risks comes a set of costs your employer currently subsidizes or pays outright. Anyone who is considering starting a home business has to stop and weigh these costs and risks in order to understand the challenges he or she is facing.
This risk and cost assessment shouldn’t discourage you from striking out on your own; but it should prepare you for the road ahead. View this information as part of your decision-making tool kit as you consider leaving your current employment and starting your own business.
