Money Matters and More

Want to love your job?  Consider working for yourself.  That’s one of the messages from a recent Pew Research survey on employment trends. (To read the report, check out http://pewsocialtrends.org/pubs/743/job-satisfaction-highest-among-self-employed)

Apparently, people who are self-employed are “significantly more satisfied with their jobs than other workers.”

Given all the grim employment news, this can be good news to the dissatisfied among us.  If a current job doesn’t offer the desired level of satisfaction, maybe it’s time to at least begin thinking about the possibility of moving on when the economy improves–or maybe even right now.  Who wants to be an entrepreneur?

But how do you get started?  And what’s it take to be successful?

Those are a few of the questions the Money Matters and More Blog will be asking between now and December 1st.  The Who Wants to Be an Entrepreneur? project will involve gathering nuts and bolts information about what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur.  Interviewing businesspeople and other experts in the DC-MD-VA region, each new blog post will feature tips to help new entrepreneurs get started.
