In theory, the fewer steps between Joe Business Owner and his end user typically results in lower costs being passed on to budget conscious Carol Consumer.
I said "in theory," remember?
When times are tough, businesses make cuts to save their bottom line…and their own necks! They don't want to risk losing business by raising prices, and they sure as heck aren't going to take cuts to their income - so they look to their work force and start whacking…
But why should your neck be the one on the chopping block? I say reverse the trend…beat 'em to the punch!
How's that for bucking a trend?
You have the skills and knowledge already, so why do you need a boss to tell you when to show up, how to do your job, and how much they'll pay you to do it? The answer is, YOU DON'T!
Consider all the knowledge and skills you've accumulated over the years. Why not parlay that experience into your own business where you can write your own paycheck for the full amount you deserve, not an hourly wage or a sliver of commission an employer arbitrarily sets for you.
People do it all the time. They go out on their own and become independent consultants, distributors, direct sellers, and the list goes on. They reach a point where they finally realize that they're the face of the company, the one who forms relationships with the decision-makers in other companies, or directly to consumers. They're the ones who cultivate the trust on which the relationships are built. There is so much power in knowing that!
Successful home business entrepreneurs are the ones who grab back their power and use it to go out on their own! They're not afraid of hard work. They just want to take control of their own income, their own time, their own future.
Can you relate to that? Do you see yourself wearing those shoes?
Think about it…most daily business is conducted away from your employer's turf. Typically it's done on-site, at other business premises, in coffee shops, in restaurants, hotels and homes. Increasingly more business is being done over the web…and less face to face.
Talk about a trend! Where do you think you'll fit in as that trend continues? What control do you have over that trend?
If you're still employed, chances are you're already operating like an independent consultant does - you just get your paycheck from your employer. You schedule yourself to meet with clients or customers and you perform a certain job using certain skills for which you are paid a set wage, salary or commission.
Now, if you could do that same job and write yourself a paycheck, would you pay yourself a higher wage? Significantly higher? Would you be more productive if you could schedule yourself to work in half the amount of time? Would you be less stressed? Have better relationships with loved ones? Would you spend more time with family and friends doing what you choose with your time freedom?
Instead of being asked to do more with less, wouldn’t it be great if you could do less, yet earn more?
If any of this resonates with you, you're probably itching to make this scenario a reality for yourself. The good news is, I can show you just how to do that, step by step…if you're ready. All you need is a strong desire and good work ethic.
You don't even need to fire your boss…yet. (That'll be the goal, though!) If you’re not currently employed, then let’s get busy!

I’m right there with you Eryn about trimming the fat by firing your boss. Most people are giving a very large percentage of their most precious resource (time!) to their job when they could be using that time to build their own business. There comes a time when you have to take the leap. I’m planning to fire my boss in less than six months. While it can feel a little overwhelming, it’s also the most exciting thing I’ve ever done!
