When working for corporate America fear of ending up with losing your job, whether it is because of company downsizing or not getting new project or even because of a conflict with your boss is always with you. If you are lucky, in demand and expert in your field, then you might end up with retiring at an age which is not considered a happy ending by many people in these days of high expense. So why not considering another alternative to release yourself from such daily stress and make a more secure career for yourself.
Why not considering another option?
Specially as a project manager, you have gain a lot of experience and several skills that give you the opportunity to work for different companies and on different projects. You know how to deal with elements such as Time, Cost, Scope and Quality. On top of those you know how to manage and lead people for getting the best result. You know how to negotiate and get the best out of a meeting with client. Some of you even might have received your PMP certificate awarded from Project Management Institute (PMI). With all of those skills and experience the question is: Why not using your best energy and time early on to start and grow your own business? At least you can decide when to actually retire!
No experience in business?
You might say: “That is a very nice option but I don’t have any experience in establishing and running a business?”. Ok! Just imagine that as a project manager you can start a light manufacturing business for yourself! A business that needs you to use your project management skills to get the job done within time and budget and in a good quality. And suppose a reputable and successful brand gives you all his support and training needed for establishing that business. You will have ongoing monthly educational sessions and weekly collaboration sessions with other business owners of the same type. And above all of those, except for the start-up costs of the business you won’t need to pay any ongoing fee to this successful business for his supports!! Is it a dream? Fortunately not!
There are some franchises and business opportunities that specifically demand your project management skills and in return help you with starting your own business under their brand name. An example of these companies is Sign World. Sign World is a national organization with more than 240 independently owned sign companies, which provide commercial custom signage and graphics.
