4 Ways to Be Your Own Boss

Are you tired of taking orders? Here are just four ways to say goodbye to your cubicle and hello to a whole new world.

1. Start a business

This is the way most people become their own boss. They have an idea, something as simple as nannying or as far-flung as goat herding, and they run with their dream until they’ve turned it into a feasible business. What ideas are percolating in your mind?

2. Invest

Are you good with numbers? Do you already follow the news and expansion of up-and-coming brands in your industry? You might have success on the stock market. All it takes is a little money upfront and a good eye for the next big thing, and you could be earning serious cash by as early as next quarter.

3. Franchise

If you want to own a business but aren’t sure where to get started, franchising is the way to go. It allows you to buy into a preexisting company and minimize your risk for capital losses as you’re first starting out. For example, if you buy into the Cold Stone Creamery franchise, you’ll be selling a product that customers already love and already want to buy.

4. Freelance

Freelancing is a great way to take your hard-earned skills and put them to use for yourself instead of someone else. If you’re good with your hands, you can become a freelance painter, sculptor or contractor. If you love to write, you can start freelance editing from home. The possibilities are endless.

These are just four ways to escape from the daily grind without sacrificing a steady paycheck. If you have the skills and the will, you don’t have to answer to anyone at all!
