Make Your Job Work For You!

Check out this great advice from Michael Baisden on starting your own business while you are still receiving a paycheck.

Michael Baisden Commentary: Make Your Job Work For You!
Why do people wait until they’re fired before they try to start their own business? The smart move is to take risk while you still have a steady paycheck and access to the resources of your job for networking.

When I worked for Chicago Transit 20 years ago driving trains, I had my passengers proofreading and editing my books. And I would bring books on the train for sale. My attitude was, “If I have to come to this freakin job I’m going to make it work for me!” Yes, I’m a hustler!

It’s not enough to scream, “I hate my job!” Or to be annoyed by your co-workers who seem to live in the Matrix. You have to do something about it. There’s nothing more frustrating than hearing someone bitching about their job but never leave.

Starting today you must decide to make your move while you’re still employed. In other words, do what’s hard while things are easy. Otherwise, you’ll end up doing what’s hard while things are at their worse and we know how that turns out, right? ~ Michael Baisden
