      Book Abstract

      Important Note About This Ebook

      Summary of Making it on Your Own (Sarah Edwards and Paul Edwards)3

      Part 1: Developing a Profit-Based Mental Outlook Instead of Focusing on How Much You’re Being Paid

      Part 2: Getting Organized So You Do Everything That Needs to Be Done to Achieve Success

      Part 3: How To Effectively Manage Yourself To Become The Type of Boss You Always Wanted To Have

      Part 4: How To Enjoy Your Success

      Book Abstract

      MAIN IDEA

      Almost everyone who leaves the security of a regular paycheck behind them to go into business for themselves struggles with the psychological challenges of being their own boss, rather than answering to someone else.

      Yet, if these challenges can be mastered, self-employment actually offers the most profitable, enjoyable and secure employment opportunities available. The key to realizing these benefits lies in the approach taken – combined with the development of those personal traits which will underpin business success – such as confidence, motivation, self-discipline and self-assurance.

      Develop the right attitudes and skills and self-employment can be liberating and highly rewarding. Not only can you survive, you will thrive and prosper. Fail to work on these skills, however, and being in business for yourself may become a minefield.

      Fortunately, every person who chooses self-employment holds the power to create the future in their own hands. They can literally achieve whatever quality of life they’re seeking. It just requires them to make the proper adjustment to their mental mindset, and to successfully manage their own business careers.
