Rachel (not her real name) had always been a dedicated employee. And she was well-liked and respected by her co-workers. And even admired by her supervisors. But none of that helped her escape getting booted out the door when the company she worked for was bought and downsized.
Apparently the downsizing new owners didn’t need dedicated employees.
So, like anybody in her shoes would do, Rachel wondered what she could do. And, naturally, she felt anxiety and fear start to flood her emotions.
But she was fortunate enough to have a loving and supporting family and friends. And just about every one of them encouraged her to consider focusing on her passion for baking. It was something that had always been in the back of her mind. But Rachel had always kept it there. Away from the chance of failure.
But NOW? Yeah, NOW life presented itself in a whole ‘nother way. And she decided to figure out a strategy for taking her internalized passion into the real world. What’s that expression? Necessity is the mother of invention? Yeah, that’s it. And, boy, was it necessary for Rachel to invent a new version of herself.
So, she discovered someone who could help her plug her ideas into a proven system. Someone who could help her refine her vision. And turn her passion for baking into an actual business. The whole process connected her skills and talents with tools for automation and delegation to help her succeed faster.
And, with the help of the system, Rachel found her niche.
She decided to create what you could call an online bakery. It was a website where she could display her unique, customized cakes and pastries. A website where customers could easily order baked goods and have them delivered quickly.
And a website, like that, needs to be able to take orders, make appointments, and provide open lines of communications with customers. So, Rachel plugged into the RondaReady System Hub.
The combination of her hub and her dedication to customer satisfaction got her some great word-of-mouth marketing. Then, she received some rave review online. And she started building a loyal customer base. Of course, it didn’t hurt that baked goods were exquisitely yummy.
So, it took about a year. But Rachel went from being an unwanted dedicated employee to popular online bakeshop owner. Now, that’s an awesome turnaround.
And her story shows you something else.
Job security does not exist.
Not for employees. And not even for management or executive officers of a company.
All you have to do to know that is look at companies that were giants of their industries that are now gone. Like Sears, Kmart, and Toys R Us.
But this is not a new phenomenon. Businesses have been folding and dying for as long as there have been businesses. Here’s what I want you to consider…
If you’re one of those people with a desire to own your business, research it! Don’t let fear hold you back. And don’t just trust that it’s safer to be a dedicated employee for someone else. Clearly it’s not always.
You CAN be a business owner.
