Before making this move, learn what your first steps should be The lines between work and personal time have been blurred for many as the pandemic forced our society to become almost completely dependent on digital devices to stay connected. This increase of technology, work-related messaging, and quite possibly all communication coming right to our fingertips leads to a struggle - between trying to find balance and the pressure to always be engaged at work. This struggle can wreak havoc on your quality of life. The solution to this problem sounds simple: become your own boss and work on your own terms. In 2020, over 800,000 businesses were formed; so many people feel the same way. This is an even more attractive solution if you have extensive industry knowledge, have a great professional network, and an idea that a lot of people in your network could potentially want. However, here are some things to consider: 20% of businesses will fail in the first 2 years45% of businesses will fail in the first 5 years65% will fail in the first 10 years25% of new businesses will make it to 15 years or more(Source: Investopedia)Only 1 in 4 people who start a business make it beyond 15 years.
