Self employment

I have met a lot of interesting people over the last week or so, most were self employed in one way or another. We had a lot of discussions about the positive and negative aspects of being self employed. The overriding winner for the biggest negative aspect of self employment was "Time".

TIME, or the lack of it is so very important in business. Most would say that although the extra money that was now available to them is great, they had to work a lot longer to get it. When they sat down and figured out how many hours they are working for the money, and then converted it to an hourly rate, they discovered they were working for a pittance. The thought of actually taking a day off to enjoy some of the things that they had worked so hard for seems almost impossible to some of them. It would be good if there was a way to keep earning the money while taking a bit of time off.

Imagine a business that once the work was done, it stayed done. Imagine not having to go out and do it all again just because it is now next month, and the bills are still coming in. Well believe it or not, there really is a system out there that allows this, and the people at Emerald Passport Inc have pretty much covered all of these bases.

Nice post. I want to run my own business soon, so this is helpful. Instead of starting a business from scratch though, I'm interested in buying a business. I know it'll be hard and challenging, but I'm up for it. Any suggestions? Advice? Thanks.
