Choosing Self-Employment

Roughly 15 years ago I became unsettled with my working life. I was in a job that I didn't hate but I knew I wanted something else. I started exploring ideas outside of the traditional work structure.

One of the books I picked up was called "Making A Living Without A Job" by Barbara Winter. I can't say that the book is what led me to massage because I was already considering that. It did give me a great boost in changing the way I thought about work. I started thinking of $100 ideas and that gave me courage that I might be able to pay the bills as I got started. Just the thought that I didn't have to make thousands of dollars in one place but instead might be able to make money from lots of smaller jobs...well, that took away a lot of pressure and let me get creative.
