It isn&#8217;t always easy, but you can do it with these tips from What Color Is Your Parachute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on for some tips on working for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Working for Yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option for a career change is working for yourself, an option 80% of people consider at some point. Some people want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-get-a-small-business-started\/\">start a business<\/a> because they have a dream\u2060\u2014for example, they want to write music. Others simply want to be their own boss and don\u2019t care what they do as long as they do it for themselves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some things to know about starting your own business and how to work for yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You don\u2019t need a lot of money.<\/li><li>You do need to research.<\/li><li>You <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/marketing-yourself\/\">market yourself<\/a> online.<\/li><li>You don\u2019t have to franchise or hook up with any traditional methods for being self-employed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t know what kind of business you want to start, follow these four steps if you want to know how to work for yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step #1: Brainstorm<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few options for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-brainstorm-effectively\/\">brainstorming<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Review your flower diagram and see if it sparks any ideas that mean you&#8217;d be working for yourself.<\/li><li>Write down any general ideas on a sheet of paper and keep this sheet of paper for making further notes on.<\/li><li>Review your resume for ideas. Perhaps you want to do something you\u2019ve already done before, but for yourself instead of an employer.<\/li><li>Try Daniel Pink\u2019s method:<ul><li>List five things that you excel at.<\/li><li>List five things you enjoy.<\/li><li>Look for overlap between the first two lists.<\/li><li>Assess at the overlap and ask yourself if you can see a way to get paid for doing any of those things.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Consult <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onetonline.org\/\">O*NET<\/a>\u2019s resources for ideas.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step #2: Research<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Research how to start and run your own business, which is essential to working for yourself successfully. <strong>There are many online resources such as <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.workforce.com\/news\/dan-pink-interview-free-agent-nation-evolves\"><strong>Free Agent Nation<\/strong><\/a><strong> and <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sba.gov\/\"><strong>federal small business<\/strong><\/a><strong> tips.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step #3: Assess Your Skills<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out what skills you need to run a business, which of those skills you currently possess, and how to acquire the skills you\u2019re missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>To find out what skills you\u2019re going to need, write out everything you know about the business you want to start and conduct informational interviews with small business owners. Ideally, do this face-to-face, because people are more likely to talk about challenges and mistakes in person than in writing.<ul><li>For example, a harp-maker who\u2019s currently employed wants to start her own harp business. She interviews other small business owners. She discovers that she needs harp-making skills, accounting skills, and marketing skills.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>To find out what skills you already have, review your flower diagram.<ul><li>For example, the harp-maker already knows how to make harps.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Subtract the skills you have from the skills you need and see what\u2019s leftover. To get the skills you need, you can learn them yourself by taking courses, hire someone, or find a volunteer.<ul><li>For example, the harp-maker can study accounting, or hire a part-time bookkeeper.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step #4: Solicit Feedback&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Seriously consider everything you learned during your informational interviews and consult your partner. Starting a business and working for yourself will affect their life too. <strong>Once you\u2019ve considered all feedback, if you still want to start a business, do so, even if you encounter naysayers.<\/strong> There is risk, but you can manage it by creating a backup plan\u2060\u2014if your business doesn\u2019t work out, what will you do next?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you thinking about working for yourself?
