Some of you Workerettes may be getting tired of working for others and considering striking out on your own. It's easy to get down in the mouth thinking about the negatives and scary parts about starting your own business, and it's all too easy to miss the upsides and positive aspects. During the stressful days (did I mention my computer froze three times today, after writing the same post well, three times?) I sure find myself wondering if it wouldn't be more worthwhile to just bite the bullet and start commuting further than across the hallway for work.
Enter stories like this one, about caterer/event planner Barbara Llewellyn. According to the article, Llewellyn has built her business from a one-woman affair to a $2 million business with 16 employees! Now that is a reminder of how far we can go, one step at a time, isn't it?
