Abstract
Picture this. You are sitting in your own office. Perhaps you have an office with a view. The name on the door says: (Your Name) & Associates. Or perhaps it says: (Your Name), Career Counsellor. Either way, you are your own boss. You may even have others working for you. You can determine your own salary — pay yourself what you are really worth. You spend your time seeing the kinds of clients you enjoy seeing. You control how you spend every hour of your working day. No. It is no longer a working day; it is your business day.
A colleague might happen past and notice you are there. With delight, your colleague might say: “Wow! When did you set up your own shop? How did you do it? How did you manage to get there?”
