What's Security?

There isn't a lot of it around these days
and a recent headline stating "Social Security
is on Life Support" sure put a scare in
a lot of folks who are counting on that
retirement benefit.

Security is a "Feeling" and if you don't
have it, you feel pretty rotten.

I've been an entrepreneur most of my life
and I used to feel insecure every now and
again that I might fail and that I might not
have a back up plan if I do.

Guess what?

I did fail...a LOT.

But...each failure was a lesson in what
not to do and with enough lessons, I
learned pretty quickly what to do.

With each new lesson I began to realize
that the insecurity of entrepreneurship was
frighteningly less scary than the insecurity
of having a job.

Security has undergone a re-definition and a lot of
people feel that being in control of your own economic
survival is the NEW Security.

I'm guessing that it will always be a good idea
to keep a job if you have one but beginning a
home-based business today can go a long way
in re-placing that Social Security income that
might not be so "secure" in your future.

Having MORE Security does a Heart Good.

Begin your back up plan TODAY.
