Are you "FIT" for SELF-Employment?

Yes, the most straight-forward, basic definition of entrepreneurship is self-employment, being your own boss.  Always an option in career transition, it is a decision that can impact many aspects of your life, from family and friends to the bottom line of your own checkbook!  So many factors to consider, so many questions to be answered...  Is being your own boss the right decision for you?

It is a question only you can answer.  

You have five alternative paths to consider:

  1. Being employed;

  2. Starting your own business from scratch;

  3. Buying an existing business;

  4. Buying a piece of an existing business, i.e. a franchise; or, the most common approach...

  5. Becoming a Consultant/ Contractor
