Dana Leavy I often hear from people about different side ventures they've started in addition to their full time jobs as financial safety nets. It's hard to trust in the "stability" of a full time job anymore. Myself included, some are going the way of self-employment, or creating additional income opportunities for themselves for more stability. If you're one of those people, what's worked for you? Some additional thoughts in a recent article I wrote: http://aspyresolutions.com/2011/08/career-stability/

My motivation however was not stability it was being able to control my own future and the future of my children. I was finding it increasingly difficult to be available for my family while working in "corporate america". Now, my businesses take a lot of work and time, however I can work at times that work for my family. Often I am doing things at midnight, but I would rather do that then punch a clock at a 9-5. Im glad I made the choices that I did, it has worked out and benefited me in more ways than one

Sometimes entrepreneurs, or even non-entrepreneurs, don't understand or have that confidence around what it is they do, what they can bring to the table for the audience they're trying to reach. It's something you struggle with initially going into business for yourself, in particular. But once you really tap into that it's invaluable. Thanks!
