I have to confess—no matter how good the working conditions are at any company I work for, I still have that dream of one day working for myself… being my own boss! It’s always been one of those fantasies I slip into whenever I’m daydreaming. I bet many of us dream about it too. I mean, who wouldn’t want to feel like they’re working for themselves, right?
I haven’t really met anyone who says they’re genuinely happy working for someone else. I’ve had colleagues tell me that they’ve spent their lives making their bosses rich, while they themselves stayed stuck in the middle-income bracket.
Working for someone else just doesn’t bring the same satisfaction you’d get from running your own business. There’s always that lingering “what if” hanging in the back of your mind…
For me, the only way to overcome those “what if” questions is to give it a try. By taking that leap, you’ll get a taste of what it’s like to be in that position—and find out if it’s truly something you want to pursue in life.
Although I’m not in a position to make it happen just yet, I’ve been planning early so that when the time comes, I’ll be ready. It’s only a matter of time before it becomes a reality. I don’t want to reach that moment and realize I’m not prepared for it.
Chasing this dream might take time, but I believe every small step brings me closer to the life I envision. When the moment finally comes, I want to meet it fully prepared—no regrets, just readiness.
