There are a lot of people who want to get out of the 9-5 grind, but very few ever act on it. It's good to know there are more people like me out there. That guy you work with is a perfect example. People tend to choose unhappiness (staying in one's job) over uncertainty (starting your own business). Mohamed, thanks for subscribing!

By even thinking about doing something, is the first step. There are too many people (I speak from personal experience) that say "yah, I wanna do something...". Jeez - what the hell is that something?! Get off your duf and DO IT! Next step, is of course action. Research the possibilities and look at what the payback could potentially be. I work as a Director of Customer Support & Operations. I manage a small-ish call center. Many of the people in the center have other skills. One guy knows a lot about alternative medicines, which supplements to take and which not to, what types of foods are good for you, etc., etc., however when I suggested he should start a blog and write about it... blank face. I went on to explain how he could make money doing it, but still a blank face. He thanked me - but obviously didn't think I was sane. People need to try out different things to see what will work for them. Blogging will take time to make you rich, but if you could generate a few hundred dollars per month, it could make the difference between sending your kid (if you have one) to an activity or not -- OR -- something else equally as important (like paying a bill, or taking some courses to further enhance your education).

I found you through a post that Anca left on my blog (http://www.oibo.org/what-are-your-favourite-blogs-and-why.html) and decided to poke around! Good to see that there are a few of us that are trying hard to get out of the daily 9-5 grind (well, for me it tends to be 6am to 4pm or any 10 hour day). Added you to my Google Reader!

An Ebay business is easy to start. You can even start it by selling the clutter you have in your own home. You can even offer your neighbors to sell their clutter and simply charge them a commission. Anything is good because you start learning how to run your own business. Hey Anca, thanks for reading. An Ebay business is easy to start.

I totally understand you, and wish you all the best in your entreprenurial quests! More motivation for you there. I sooo look forward to the day I'll be my own boss, and hopefully that will be soon, I really don't have experience or any money to start a real business, but I am so excited about starting out something, that I was even considering eBay. Anything would be nice to start out with and not to work for anybody else anymore. I loved this post! Beaker, you suck!
