Are You in the Right Business?

We get emails everyday from someone hyping a business online or we hear all about the great returns of starting your own business using a franchise system.

Don't get me wrong...I believe if you choose the right business you will be successful no matter the system or the media you use to promote your services or products. What does concern me is if someone is just exchanging one job for another and calling it a "business".

I just read an article which addresses some challenges to picking the right business or exchanging your old job for a new one,"The 7 Most Overrated Businesses". It has some very valid points we can all take a moment to ponder to see if we are, in fact, in the right business for our strengths, skills and passions.

You may be in one of these businesses and you may be extremely happy and successful, so it isn't an affront to anyone who is enjoying the benefits of small business ownership in these categories.

This is kind of a public service announcement to those who are feeling the pain of job loss and need to create an income. I just want you to carefully consider who you are and how your chosen small business will match up. Each will require investment of your, money, time and effort not to mention the support of your family.

So the more carefully you consider the business and look into yourself to see whether it's a commitment you can make for the long-term, the better your chances of success!

As always, if you have any suggestions or comments, please let me know what you think!
