Do you run your own business?

Starbuck

My work life has reached a point where I am struggling and it is looking likely I will have to leave my job.  Due to worsening health and other issues, I don't think I can deal with highly demanding and stressful roles anymore, as it is putting too much strain on my health.

I have always wanted to run my own business as part of my stresses are sticking points within companies and politics that prevent you from getting on with the job.

I was curious if any of you run your own businesses and whether they provide a good income for you (don't have to give specifics as I appreciate that is private).

It's an idea I am mulling over, I just have worries about whether I will be able to cope and will my health let me down - so it is something I am going to have to think hard about.

We are a varied bunch, so I am interested to hear your stories for some inspiration.  Why did you decide to take the leap into running your own business.  Was it what you expected?

  • Hi, I don't currently run my own business, but i'm working on it. I was very much in the same frame of mind as yourself, I can't deal with corporate bull... it stresses me out. I started looking online for ways to make money without working for someone else, I came across a youtube channel by someone called Samuel Leeds. I watched a lot of the videos and decided that is what I wanted to do. It is a channel that shows people how they can be financially free in property, I appreciate you may not want to do that, I just thought it may give you ideas and show you what is possible!

    Hope everything works out for you and you find something that refuces your stress levels

    I do wonder how much we could achieve as a community if we didn't have to navigate and juggle the daily BS and politics.  It seems to be a common theme for us all.  Your idea sounds very interesting.  I would definitely watch that!  Were you thinking of creating videos and going down the Patreon route and including YouTube ads on your videos?

    Hi, I meant I'd like to invest in property. I don't know enough to confidently train anyone else. I can see why you'd think I meant the videos because of my last post. I didn't explain myself very well. I meant that I watched his videos and decided property was something I wanted to get into
