April 28, 2012 - PRLog -- 8 Global Solutions looks at the reasoning behind this increase; there are several reasons. One being that given the economic climate people realise that their jobs are not secure, and have seen colleagues or peers recently become unemployed or made redundant. 8 Global Solutions acknowledge that for some, they are simply fed up working for someone else and never seeing the rewards themselves.

8 Global Solutions understands why, but questions is self-employment for everybody? Can it suit all careers and personalities? These are questions that 8 Global Solutions needed to consider and decide in relation to persons specific situations. What 8 Global Solutions accepts is that there are many advantages to becoming self-employed, so many that it would appear that governments across the globe are starting to value self-employment as a viable work opinion.

8 Global Solutions looks at what the advantages are

Autonomy (being your own Boss)

8 Global Solutions agrees that this is possibly one of the most exciting and biggest advantages to becoming self-employed. You have the opportunity to run things just how you wish, now it is your turn to stand in the spotlight! You are now the one in control, in charge - the ultimate decision maker, it’s essential to understand that becoming your own boss also brings its own huge responsibilities and challenges!


Flexibility
When you choose to be self-employed, you are also choosing to be your own boss. What I personally love best about working on my own is the flexibility. I am able to work around my family's schedules. I no longer have to try to explain to my boss why my children have so many doctor appointments. I am able to choose to go on my kid's field trips when I choose to. I can work as early or as late as I desire.
Of course, how much you earn is directly tied in to how much you work. If you don't work, there is no pay. If you’re able to be responsible with the freedom that a flexible schedule gives you then self employment may prove to be a great option for you. However, if you are an individual who requires a lot of structure and find it difficult to be motivated without a set schedule then this may be a challenging area for you. You may still be able to work on your own if you recognize early on what personally motivates you. It also helps to have a weekly schedule. This allows you to set boundaries.
Becoming self-employed allows you to do something that is not common in the workplace - work on what you want, like, enjoy or even love! All too often we are stuck in jobs and careers where we are not happy, dissatisfied or bored, but unfortunately we have no choice but to stay there - WRONG! Becoming self-employed can be the perfect remedy for this. Self- Employment allows you to be as creative and imaginative as you like. You choose what to do and in which direction to drive your business and clients.


Self-Satisfaction
There is nothing like feeling that you have completed a task successfully. Now you get to receive the whole self-satisfaction, no-one can come along and claim your successes, as theirs. You are now in charge of setting goals and targets, deciding how and when they will be met and judging performance. Setting out on your own can be highly challenging, but imagine the feel good factor you achieve when you can attribute all your successes to one simple thing - your own hard work!

You Reap the Rewards Personally
8 Global Solutions understands how it feels to work so hard to meet a deadline or go the extra mile to win, and not see the reward of it. Often working for a big company means that although you can be the best employee, the hardest worker, the most experienced they have, you rarely are rewarded with a cash bonus or incentive. One of the key components to being self-employed is that all the profits belong to you!

Earn Money for Yourself
Unfortunately the fact is that we spend most of our lives at work, trying everything to earn extra cash, get a pay rise, and improve ourselves personally, socially and professionally. Many of us strive to be the best to stand out from the crowd but what for? They say that 'hard work pays off' but does it really. Well yes it can if you're self-employed. Working hard and focusing your life on your career can pay off and more importantly will solely benefit you not the hundreds and thousands of others also working towards the same goal!

Create Your Own Success
The opportunity to succeed is now in your hands. Becoming self-employed involves a huge risk - you are now solely responsible for creating your own destiny and more importantly success. You will have no-one to blame and no-one to make excuses to or for. So work hard, plan and weigh up decisions before making them because ultimately they will affect you and your potential to succeed.







Choose Who You Work With
When you become self-employed, you now decide who choose to work with, answer to and take on as a client. Gone are the days when you were surrounded by people who you felt were unable to benefit or enhance your career. A new era has arrived- where you have the opportunity to totally wipe the slate clean and surround yourself with a whole new circle of professional associates - all of whom you have chosen personally for attributes and skills that will be useful to you and your budding venture. Words of caution choose your new colleagues and associates carefully and don't just accept the first offer of help without truly weighing up the benefits to you and your new enterprise!


Own Working Hours
Becoming self-employed means you decide when and how much you work. You choose your own holidays and days off. This can be an amazing advantage as you can now build your work around your own personal schedule. Remembering that anytime you chose to take off will reflect onto your business, not that 8 Global Solutions is suggesting you work nonstop, but anyone becoming self employed or opening a small business will have to work hard in order to reap the rewards.

8 Global Solutions understands the benefits of becoming self employed, understands that to achieve success you need to work hard in order to enjoy the rewards. It would appear that self employment is for those of us who are willing to invest our time and effort to achieve our dreams, it is not for those living for the weekend or counting down to their next holiday. Self employment is for entrepreneurs, it’s for those who want great things in life, but are not willing to eat their marshmallow just yet.
