It takes a special kind of person with entrepreneurial talents and traits to become self-employed. The perks and rewards can be considerable. Unfortunately so can the associated fears and anxieties. Some people look upon being self-employed as a dream career prospect whereas others find the prospect utterly daunting. We are all different. There are bungee jumpers and there are those who find climbing a ladder simply terrifying.
Who are you? What do you want from your career? By the very fact that you are here reading these words tells me that the prospect of becoming a self-employed Mortgage Broker has, at some point, crossed your mind.
Let’s take a look at the possible drivers behind your desire to leave the shackles of your current employer. Safe, reliable, and rhythmic but shackles nonetheless. You yearn for freedom and the chance to be your own boss. The promised land of flexible hours and calling the shots has been beckoning you for some time and you feel pulled towards this work v life utopia. Ask yourself this question, what is stopping you from taking the plunge? Not as bungee as you hoped?
You have daydreamed the recurring vision of you calling clients and tapping away on the laptop whilst feeling the warm sand trickling through your toes. The cooling sea breeze, is nature’s much-preferred alternative to the cold blast of the office air conditioning unit, keeping you pleasantly alert and on-task. Your heart is beaming like the sunshine all around you and feels fit to burst with joy. Then bang! From out of nowhere the cold realisation that there will be no more recurring bank transfer from your employer’s account, on the same day every month and that you would have to go out and cold-pitch for your own clients brings you back to life with a juddering halt.
Does this sound familiar? Are you craving autonomy yet fearful of the thought of actually going it alone?
We are not going to tell you that running your own business is a breeze (oops, back to the beach again!) It takes hard work, drive and lots of support from a good network. Here at Momentum we will be exactly that support network. Connect with us and let us show you how we will help you embrace your exciting and liberating transition to being self-employed .
As you are no doubt aware, the life of the self-employed is not always a ‘walk in the park’ or indeed a day at the beach, as per the glorious daydream. There will undoubtedly be darker days, challenging days. Days when you wish you didn’t have to wear all the hats and could just go back to doing the ‘day job’.
You do not need to do it completely alone.
