The grass is always greener…

You might not realize it when daydreaming at your 9-5 about starting a small business, but there are a few things to miss when you’re gone. To an entrepreneur, it’s blasphemous to suggest that anything good can come from working for The Man; but going solo isn’t always the end-all be-all.

This entrepreneur is not discouraging you from starting your own business. I believe that independence is the only way to go; but it’s important to be smart about it. Instead of burning all bridges and jumping into the water on your own; take advantage of all the things that both working for yourself and someone else has to offer.

My way is to build low-maintenance, residual income-producing businesses that give me freedom over my time. I then take short-term jobs for the education, not the money.
