It may be difficult to see when you can’t yet see any results of your actions, but right from the get-go you are benefiting yourself. Just in the fact that you would step out in faith to try something new is a major plus, no matter how old or experienced you are. Taking action automatically creates momentum. You have ‘broken the mold’ just by stepping up to see if you can create something. Whether or not you succeed on this attempt in its current format is irrelevant.
There is really nothing sadder in this world filled with possibilities than to see people beaten down by ‘the system’ – stuck in a rut and going through life just following along with the status-quo. A certain amount of ‘conformity’ is probably necessary at least to build a foundation. You should at least acquire a basic education, gain experience and expertise just going through the motions. This is also action. However the idea is to progress or exceed if you really want to perform to your highest capacity.
All of the signs point to the future of business being very much more a place where innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit are running rampant. So even if for right now you just need to keep your day job for the income, use this time wisely. Start exploring how you can build yourself a foundation that will represent security and safety. Just as important is to keep stimulating your brain where you are continually learning and growing.
No matter which way you look at it, from the negative as a hedge against calamity such as to build income that you can use in an emergency, to pay down crippling debt; and/or to save for something special you may want to do. Money from wages just doesn’t go as far as it used to with the costs of everything skyrocketing. Having extra income is the only way, since your current income is stretched to capacity even on a good day.
Apart from the obvious financial benefits of having a part-time home business in addition to your regular income, there are so many other advantages to being creative and taking action. It is important that you exercise your brain now and even more so as you age. Starting a business has much value in that it can represent income and the possible resolution of many related problems. It can seem like it is a hobby or something enjoyable that is positive and stimulating. Sure any hobby or interest can do that for you, but it’s the money that makes it more productive and psychologically pleasing.
