All people have some sort of job skill. Obviously there are several things that are functions of large organizations. But many things can be done on a small scale by a person. Computer skills, the construction trades, accountants, lawyers, editors, sales reps and many others can operate independently. You do not need to be working for someone else. Provided you can find your own customers, you don’t need a boss.
If you are unemployed and considering being self-employed the very first thing you need to do is inventory your job skills. Start with your resume; it might be obvious what you might do as a self-employed individual. If your current job description cannot be converted to self employment consider your hobbies and interests.
People have turned upholstery, picture framing, small engine repair, photography and many other hobbies into full-time jobs. Several things you’ll be able to do may not be listed on your resume. You may have done them in college or high school, or maybe you have a need to do something new.
I have a client who, as a sideline to his main business started winterizing houses that banks have reprocessed and foreclosed. It fills in the slow time of the year for him. The idea is to be flexible, take a look at what must be done that someone will pay for and figure out what skills you have that might apply or what skills you might be to get. It is not impossible to learn something new.
What does it take to actually begin your personal business? The very simple answer is it takes a customer. What put somebody in business and keeps them there are customers. You will have to do some marketing. The simplest way to market is to make a phone call to someone you know who you are fairly certain need your services, offer to accomplish specific jobs on a contract basis. The net has opened a huge opportunity for selling whatever it is you have. You are able to reach potential customers at a very reasonable cost.
