Formerly you worked for a company and every month you got paid on the dot and everything was okay - not great but you had no doubts. The boss drove up in his shiny new car; while you drove around in your 10 year old rusty box on wheels - noticeably he was doing fantastic compared to you. For sure it's time for a change; and the only human being stopping you is yourself! Start-up your own landscape architect business straight away! Operating your own landscape architect business is maybe something you have thought about for loads of years; however what has prevented you beforehand? It's understandable that being your own boss may possibly be the most challenging thing you ever do, however think of the rewards.
So how do you run a new venture? You've always been the one who is told what to do. Straight away the shoe is truly on the other foot - you give the commands now. However what orders do you give to your workers? What tells do you transmit? How do you know if what you are doing or saying is the correct thing for your new landscape architect business? It was stress-free before...the boss spoke...and you did what he/she said and you got rewarded at the end of the day. Having your own business is a little harder, if you get things wrong now, not only will you not get remunerated (or get rewarded less), your lack of decisiveness could impact in the negative upon your workers.
This is finally it; you have made the jump and you are running your own business. This is the period when you need to truly focus on what you want for your business and your life. Try to keep the two away from each other as much as possible...this can be really challenging for the majority of people in particular if you now work from home. Bear in mind however the main of working for yourself is to improve your life in it's entirety. Don't let the new business be "An Albatross around your neck"...it's there to get you the rewards you have always wanted.
However knowing that you can easily pay your mortgage at the end of the day is great.
