What It's About
Today's caller seeks advice on whether or not it's time to go solo.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1808
Welcome to a new week! Learning to work for yourself is a skill—it’s not innate. It’s kind of like remote work, in the sense that if you’ve only had a job that you go to and then go home, learning to work remotely requires some adjustment. We’ve seen that over the past couple of years as a lot of people have shifted to remote work. So the same is true with working for yourself as opposed to working for a boss and with a team, which brings me to today’s question. Today’s listener thinks she is better at working for others and is worried about whether she’s cut out for starting a side business. Let’s talk about it!"I like the idea of starting a business, but I worry that I won't be good at it. I don't mean the technical or operational aspects, I just mean some of the organization and strategy. Long story short, I think I'm better at working for others than I am at working for myself. I appreciate the accountability of a team and a boss who gives me direction. Like I said, though, I still like the idea of having a business, and I understand how important it is to diversify my income. Do you have any advice for someone like me?"Listen to today's episode to learn more...
