Self Employment as the Key of Success

Self Employment as the Key of Success

What really is self-employment? Well it seems that the creators of internet get rich schemes have defined it as work for as few hours as possible and make loads of cash so you can sleep, play or do nothing the rest of the day. Fire the boss and go home to do nothing but earn loads of cash. It's an interesting take on self-employment, but unfortunately bears no relation to reality nor in a real sense captures the true essence of self-employment.
Actually, self-employment is a noble aspiration because it allows us truly to be masters of our creativity and initiative. In the regular job market our creativity and initiative is confined to the goals and aspirations of our employers, our output is channeled to fit in with someone else's output and we can become stifled.
You many have learnt that your passion consumes you and you love it. It's time that we wake up to the reality that true success will not be achieved until we are willing to expend time and effort to get it. Money certainly does not grow on trees and even if it did I have not yet seen the tree that is planted today and bears tomorrow, there is a long process to maturity. Self-employment allows us an opportunity to be our true selves and to live our lives fully and successfully.
What would a nation, any nation, be like if its people were all self-employed and worked only two, or one or half hour per day? Do internet millionaires only work a few hours per day? I doubt it. I know millionaires in the offline world, whether it be sports persons, actors, entertainers, investors, entrepreneurs and others, they put in many hours of work per day in order to get to achieve their goals.
Do get rich schemes really provide self-employment? It seems not. It is no wonder that these get rich schemes don't work for the many. Staying home and marketing someone else's product and following someone else's every dictates on how to market does not match the essence of self-employment. Even if we marketed someone else's products, if the business and marketing model allowed for greater involvement beyond plugging some names into an auto-responder and really allowed us to use our abilities to make the business a success, then we would find more fulfillment and satisfaction. We would find that our passion would develop and true self-employment would be achieved and with it the monetary rewards.
Want to be successful? Try true self-employment. Where you are truly in charge, where you are willing to do what it takes to make the business work. Spend time and develop your business plan, develop your product as necessary and your marketing plan, there are lots of resources available that can help you to do that. Implement your plan, don't let someone else do it for you. Make adjustments to the plan as you go along but keep your goal in focus. At the end of the day, you will feel a greater sense of satisfaction because your entire being was employed, truly self-employed.
