A 40's something woman was talking to me the other day about her growing sense of frustration with "working for someone else" and her longing to "do my own thing Cheap Jerseys China , drive my own wagon".

Of the seven strategies included below, the first two suggest ways to gradually transition from salaried to solo Cheap Jerseys , instead of diving off the edge. The second two are ways to stretch the dollar; and the final three are ideas for getting started without stopping.
1. Continue to draw a (reduced) salary Leaving your current employment in order to develop your new business may look like the only option, based on an assumption that you won't get approval for reducing your hours.
