The first step to creating a successful self-employed business is to ask yourself the right questions before you jump in. Many people romanticize self-employment as an opportunity to be your own boss and set your own schedule. Both of those are true, but in fact, self-employment carries its own stresses. You can help yourself in the end by looking at yourself honestly and asking yourself these questions:

• Am I a self-starter? Am I motivated by internal or external forces?
  
• How comfortable am I with risk?
  
• How willing am I to promote myself? Am I willing to ask for what I want? Am I self-confident? Am I competitive?
