    Why NOW May Be an Excellent Time to Start Your Own Business

    Weekly Wisdom on the Work/Life Merge with Judy Martin
    Contributing Expert and Career Success! Partner

    The economy might be heading in the direction of recovery, but the jobs are lagging behind according to the Federal Reserve’s Beige Book; a study which tracks economic activity. For some, it stokes the fire toward the idea of self employment and becoming an entrepreneur. Might be a good time to give it a shot. Pamela Slim’s, Escape from Cubicle Nation: From Corporate Prisoner to Thriving Entrepreneur, is a great place to start. She’s profiled in this weeks WorkLife Nation Webisode.

    Entrepreneurs are experiencing a surge in optimism in 2010 according to a new survey from the American City Business Journals. Although the economy is still struggling, it doesn’t mean that starting a new business is a bad idea. The Kauffman Foundation which tracks entrepreneurs says such a climate can be a breeding ground for success. More details on both tidbits of information in this weeks WorkLife Nation Webisode featuring Pamela Slim!
