Well thankfully tax time has come and gone and while the damages were minimal, it became apparent yesterday that thinking outside the box and developing some new entrepreneur ideas are definitely necessary. After a very successful long weekend with lots of family visiting us (for the first time), news on the work front on Monday wasn’t so great.

Why Having Backup Entrepreneur Plans Is Worthwhile

Being my own boss – entrepreneur if you like – is something I have had the pleasure of enjoying for a few decades now. To this day, being accountable to only oneself is richly satisfying in so many ways. Sure it’s a tad scary knowing you have no safety net (other than skillful savings and/or investments) to rely on, but it also keeps you on your toes. To be an entrepreneur takes a particular vision and the ability to turn vision into reality.

So Monday found us once again with one less individual contributing to the whole financially. Yep, a family member laid off and in Nevada of all places. Things here are up and down anyway, so it’s almost (but not quite) easier when it happens not just the first time, but the second and/or third. That’s when having an entrepreneur idea up your sleeve comes in very handy.

Note: It’s amazing how ideas really flow when you acknowledge reality, and keep moving forward despite current circumstances.

I won’t get into all the strategic planning involved, but I would like to encourage you to investigate the entrepreneur within – it could very well be your lifeline in the near future.
