Creative Entrepreneurship: 3 Steps to Convert Talent Into Self-Employment Cash!
Thanks to the PC and the World Wide Web, everyone now has the opportunity to become successful freelancers. It’s amazing how these tools have revolutionized everything.
How can you leverage these tools and the marketplace to turn your talent into cash? Although it is quite easy to do it, it is not easy. Making the transition from receiving a regular paycheck can be a challenge for many. Many of us have been educated and trained to think that the legitimate way to earn a living is to go to college or trade school and get a job. And we have also been taught to believe that work is the only thing that can provide “benefits,” that is, health insurance. However, young people are graduating from college and going straight to self-employment. They can buy health for a monthly fee and also get the benefit of an HSA (Health Savings Account), which is available only to the self-employed.
Before going any further, I would like to define what I mean by creative entrepreneurship. Creative entrepreneurship is the process of earning a living from a talent or skill, using limited resources, without going into debt. Creative entrepreneurship is for ordinary people. The goal is not necessarily to be a millionaire, although that may be possible for some. The goal is to be successful freelancers, making a living from something you love to do, perhaps working from home or from a small office. Creative entrepreneurship is not about buying a franchise, hiring employees, and opening a store. It’s not about putting out a lot of expensive ads in the newspaper and taking huge overhead and bank loans, recruiting a board of directors, going public, and offering stocks. However, the end result can be a six-figure income, accompanied by a pleasant lifestyle, without much expense, risk, or debt.
Creative entrepreneurship is a term that I have coined to describe my lifestyle. My first business was a business that I had been trained for. I went to college and got a degree in advertising. I then accepted a position as an independent sales representative selling promotional product advertising. Finally, I started my own promotional products company. Now I have branched off into other areas based on my interest, passion, experiences and knowledge.
Creative entrepreneurship offers the ultimate in capitalist freedom. We can earn a living doing what we love or what we are good at; And we can do it from our home as simple as a laptop, a cell phone and a website.
Below, I have taken 3 steps to begin your Creative Entrepreneurship journey.
These are the basic steps required to start your self-employment career. Give yourself 1 to 3 years to put these things in place. Try to work part-time at your current job and part-time at self-employment. This is a very simple process, but not an easy one. The idea of creative entrepreneurship is not to take out loans, but to build a customer base and invest that money in growing your business as the business grows. You will need to learn to think differently, set your own goals, create your own vision for your company, and create vacation time and days off, because you are your own boss.
Being your own boss requires personal development because the business can only grow to the level that you are growing. Training and constant training are necessary to bring you to full independence. Once you achieve independence in one business venture, you can expand into others, as your creative juices begin to flow once more. The ultimate freedom and joy is making a living doing what you are good at and what you love to do. Creative entrepreneurship allows you to contribute greatly to yourself, your family, the community, and the world around you!
