With the holiday’s drawing ever closer, the time is coming for the ever popular New Year’s Resolutions!
What do you have planned for 2012? Was 2011 everything you wanted, happy with your job, pay and bonus? Or is it finally time to find your passion and start that side business?
Yes, its time to again think about starting that side business to make some extra money. Become a Sole Proprietor, declare yourself a business and finally start. What do you want to do with your life? Especially if you receive no satisfaction from your career/job. Are you there just for the paycheck and feel your soul screaming to do something else?
In 2011, I had a surprising number of people start new businesses. One couple had had this idea for nine years and finally acted upon it. I liked it so much if they didn’t do it I may have found someone to do it with myself.
There are lots of fantastic ideas out there, there are also so lousy ones. I have closed a few of my own in the past as well, that did not make sense or work as desired. But occasionally those strategic losses do serve a purpose.
I have a client that refers to multipreneurs as having many toll booths in which to collect money from. Some will bring in more money than others at various times. I have always liked that thought myself.
For those who already have their own business, maybe think of adding a new line of service. In 2011 we added auditing to list of services and in 2012 we will be adding Peer Review.
Think about it, if you only make $100 a month, would that help with building a cash reserve, help fund a vacation, college or retirement? It might even be fun, or your future.
