Keeping the spark

Despite the malaise in the financial circulatory system the New York Times has run articles that show a rise in entrepreneurial activity. When you have little to lose betting doesn't seem so bad? Which might be a fine theory if you overlook that when times are better your friends and relatives would be more able to support you should things end up on wrong end of the bell curve. And the "bell" for businesses is pretty flat. But, in this time isn't it nice to dream and work toward control? Plus, it highly depends on what you seek to get out of self-employment. If you expect riches, ease, the support of strangers and friends alike then you may find more incentive to quit. Money is always a fickle thing, nothing is easy about doing some things your own way, and if you are taking a risk many people will look at you like a disease carrier.

I'm making the effort, myself. I'm writing more outside of work. Research for a business with an ecological focus, as well. I'll keep you posted.
