any factors govern the reasons behind employees quitting their work and become a self employed person. This is especially prevalent in America and Europe. These people exploit the growth and advancement in modern communications and enter the vast ocean of self employment which offers a great deal of growth. In fact it is the second fastest growing sector, the first being healthcare. But before taking the plunge you should be sure that you are capable of handling the work.

One in three people in the western hemisphere are either fully or partially self employed since the spurt in the opportunities for these self employed people began in the 1980s in many countries. But before entering this, make sure you have the proper motivation and business sense and skills which are expected. The image you project will be of paramount importance as organizations look out for these.

Primarily, you might wish to introspect about why you are in your current position. If the desire to work in such an ambience is compelling, then self employment will be the ideal option for you. The hard part of starting up is often offset by the excitement you can derive from it.

If the 9 to 5 job is not for you, and you have concrete reasons for the same, then go ahead and quit and start on your own if you think your full potential can be brought out by self employment. Ensure that if you do start on your own, that you can sell your product. Make sure you have thought out clearly why you are doing this before you explain to your kith and kin, besides any bank managers.

If you are a trouble shooter and like to clear up and move on, consultancy is your ideal job. A lot of people find it a perfect choice. The biggest draw is that you have no one to report to or to instruct you. It is natural though, that the clients would expect a certain degree of performance and business like behavior. At the end of the day, you frame the rules by yourself.

The issue of being self employed and the opportunities it brings in will vary depending on how you connect with the boss. Explaining the reason behind starting on your own can free the shackles and liberate you from being employed at certain organizations. The joy of working by yourself and building your own company can be fully felt when you start on your own. But finally, you are fully responsible for all that happens from beginning to end.
