Starting your first Online Store
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be self employed? Do you some times think that all of your hard work goes unnoticed? Do you feel that the security you have in your current position at work is safe? You know you want to do some thing different but your not sure what it is or how to start.
Well my friends that's how all of us feel at some point in our careers. Every day we wit and watch the stock market erode a little bit more and try to hold on. Well let me tell you about the journey I have embarked on. I was sitting in my office in December of 2008 and realized I had lost 40% of my 401K. It had taken me 30 years to save the money I was going to live on for the rest of my life and now 40% of it is gone.
I was hopeful like you were to take an early retirement and spend more times with my friends and family, some thing I have been planning for the last 30 years. The epiphany I had in December was this;
I am not in control of my own destiny. I started to question how and why I had ended up in this situation. I knew that I had to make a change in my life. I knew I needed to start spending more of my time on my business that I had control over.
I landed on a website that talked about drop shipping. I did not know much about ecommerce but I read on. I found that I was intrigued by the idea of having my own website that was preloaded with products. It seemed too good to be true. It was my own business that I could manage while continuing to work.
My new business gave me a sense of having a safety net. Was there work to due, absolutely? Am I rewarded for that hard work, absolutely? There are no silver bullets to fix what's wrong in our economy but there are options. You can either wait for the government to bail you out or you can take some action of your own. Visit my website and see what your online business can look like.
