Title: Is Self-Employment For You, Building A Business - mp3 (audio only) | Description: Paid work is available for librarians and others who specialize in the information economy. But, is moving from being a paid employee (with benefits) to someone who has to identify customers and convince them to pay you enough money to cover health insurance, food, lodging, gas, and cat food the best move for you? Being smart, competent, experienced, credentialed, and effective are not enough. Self-employment is as much a lifestyle choice as it is a financial decision. Are you a perfectionist, or can you set limits on how much you do? Does negotiating about money make you uncomfortable, or can you ask for what you want? Does your family think being self-employed means glamour and big bucks, or are they supportive of long hours, missed vacations, and time on the road? Do you hope for a job where people will pay you and leave you alone, or do you actually like human beings? We will review the basics, including identifying necessary skill sets, managing finances, setting deadlines, finding and keeping customers, and avoiding common mistakes. |
