Thanks, Yinka! In the few years I’ve been in business, I’ve seen quite a few people come and go from the scene. I believe that many people think “I like to do XXX” so I will start a business so I can get paid for doing it, not realizing there’s more to running a business than just XXX – they have to market and network so people know that they exist and what they have to offer, and of course there’s an administrative side to any business. Some just don’t realize how much self-discipline it takes to get up and work every day when you’re only accountable to yourself. Reading books about self-employment and/or starting a business can be real eye-openers and help people decide if they do have the disposition and personality for it.

I think it is an issue of dispostion, personality and what wants in life, But these books can help someone who is considering being self employed. Keep it up Janet.
