self employed....you are already doing what most dun dare to.
Read some report comparing entrepreunrial behaviour between diff
countries, a high 80-85% prefer security in their methods of income
generation. Not many people can actually live without having the
security of knowing when's the next paycheck and how much is
it.
I guess you will be much more adaptable then most.
To take it further there are "Self-employed" as in people who own
their business, and "commission earners" who are technically self
employed too but dun own the business. Examples can be insurance
advisors, brokers, car sales agents.
If you're a "self employed" in that sense, going into a new
business may present newer better opportunites for yourself.
However (with all due respect) if one is a commission earner and is
thinking of jumping into another commission earner because he
believed it is easier, the thinking is flaw. One will encounter the
same obstacles again. Example a property agent going to be a
insurance agent because he is not doing well in property, and
believed he will not meet with the kind of rejections in insurance.
I'm not saying all commission earners who jump from one industry to
another are flaw, I am saying the reason for the jump must be
qualify.
