A Change of Plans…

According to a Forbes article published two days ago, 2 million Americans are quitting their jobs each month. Why? Because of office politics, a lack of freedom, a lack of recognition, horrible bosses, and the desire to start their own ventures.

Further, it’s easier than ever to start a business. With unlimited access to apps and tools online, we’re learning that we can post ads and find freelance work along with bigger opportunities quickly. Quitting isn’t the risk it used to be.

A change of plans is no longer a bad thing. We must evolve with technology and society. It’s changing faster than ever, which means we must change faster than ever. Individuals who start a high volume of businesses are no longer unusual. Folding a business or quitting a job for new endeavors is often necessary.

Rework

 

Rework is the best business book I read in 2012 hands down. When I read it, I had only owned my microbusiness for about a year. A few months before I picked the book up, I realized that I loved owning a business all by myself with only occasional help from people on bigger projects.

I disagreed with people when they told me I needed to grow my business. They told me I would get bored with a microbusiness. That never happened. I actually enjoy staying small and growing at pace that’s right for me. I have more flexibility and can change course when it makes sense.

Rework was the first business book I read that agreed with my thoughts about owning a business. If you want to own a big business, that’s not a problem. Hopefully Rework will talk you into starting your business in a different way and growing at a pace that makes sense!
