SELF-EMPLOYMENT OPTIONS
Depending where you are in life (considering
age, interests, finances, etc.) you may want to consider self employment as an
option. No one totally retires anymore and most of us will always need some
source of income, even in retirement. Self employment is one option that many
of us do not consider seriously. If you are considering a career change, or
looking to create a way for some retirement income, consider working for
yourself. Obviously, your financial needs will dictate the following
considerations.
Ø Franchising (perhaps with a partner)
Ø Purchasing an existing business
Ø House cleaning service (develop a customer
base and hire workers)
Ø Tax service
Ø Bookkeeping service
Ø Headhunting service
Ø Odd job/handyman service
Ø Smoke/burglar alarm sales
Ø Professional telephone answering service
Ø Fresh flower/plant service for businesses
Ø Financial planner
Ø Professional baby/adult care service
