IF
Even-if you don’t want to work in an office every day, you should consider starting your own business.
That’s right, you can be your own boss! If you have a hobby that you are very good at, you might be able to
earn a living doing it. For example, if you will have a talent for web design, you could sell your services to
small companies. To get started, choose a company that you know about and show them some examples
of web pages you've designed. Unless they like your work, offer to design a web page for them for a small
fee. If you will do a good job the first time, they will probably hire you again. They may also recommend
you to other businesses. Soon you'll have a lot of customers contacting you, and you'll be running your
own business. If you don’t make a lot of money, you'll feel satisfied and successful. You will also be doing
something you love. Running your own business can be a lot of work, but it’s worth it. If people will enjoy
their jobs, they are usually happier. You won’t know for sure unless you are going to try.
