“There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls.”
 -Howard Thurman

Your Mindset Is the BIGGEST Key to Your Self Employment Success. Are you going through soul searching and inner work deciding whether to become self employed? You want your work to be meaningful, enjoyable and profitable. Where is your mind right now about all this?

This may be quite a new way of thinking for you if you’ve always been employed by others.

 Consider this:

1) Just because you’re self employed doesn’t mean you’ll always work alone. You will work with customers or clients and you will probably want to collaborate with others. There are plenty of opportunities to attend networking meetings and to become an active member of your geographical community as well as online communities. No need to feel like you’re on your own.

2) Being self employed is the best school you’ll ever attend. It will give you the opportunity to learn quickly, improve your skills and develop new ones that you probably would have never explored if you had remained an employee.

3) You get to express your true self through your enthusiasm for your services/products when you’re self employed. You love what you are offering and it shows.

4) You will use the gifts and strengths you were born to use to serve many who appreciate your services.

5) You will have the opportunity to grow your prosperity consciousness greater than it’s been. Your prosperity consciousness is the good feeling you’d have about yourself if your income far exceeded your expenses. So, if your cash flow is almost always positive, you can assume that you already have a prosperity consciousness. Congratulations! But if you don’t have a Prosperity Consciousness, you might want to make it your intention to have one.

P.S. This is such an important topic (and one I am passionate about because I’ve made big shifts around this in my own life) that I’m going to offer more on this topic soon. But first, I’m so excited about a CD audio seminar & Companion Step-By-Step Workbook that I’ve created called “Ignite Your Entrepreneurial Spirit: 7 Easy Steps to Success.” See my site for more info.
