Millions of workers every day for a variety of reasons curse their bosses. Maybe they have the overly demanding boss who requires more than they can handle in a day. They possibly may have the "I'm going fishing" boss who leaves them with his work while he indeed goes fishing. They may even have the "everyday is a bad day" boss that takes his personal problems out on his employees. What many of these workers do not realize is that their best boss looks them in the eye every morning when they brush their teeth in front of the bathroom mirror. Self-employment, while scary, provides the kind of boss that everyone would want. He knows his employees needs, and he's willing to work hard to meet them. Thus we cannot ignore the plethora of small home business opportunities available to the average, hard-working individual today. 

Opportunities abound in the small home business world. Many times finding such an opportunity requires just a little bit of research and a keen eye. Many of those who have succeeded in the small home business arena saw the needs of those around them and then created a business which helped fill those needs. Some create their small home business from scratch, from the business name to the product they sold. They started it all from the ground up. Others find a small home business opportunity which already exists, and they grab a hold of it before others saturate their local market. Businesses such as Tupperware, Mary Kay, and even Pampered Chef, household names for decades, have given many a person a start at their own small home business. In all of these cases, however, the successful home business operator saw a need that he or she could fulfill. That person took the necessary steps to starting his or her own business, and then simply worked hard to make the business work. 

Those seeking a small business opportunity should not jump into just any opportunity that presents itself. They should consider the business itself as well as the bottom line of what they will make from the business. A small home business will never succeed if the person running it does not believe in his product. So the one who is seeking this opportunity should not just take it while it presents itself, but he should take some time to seek wise counsel. Those who know him best will give him the best advice. Wise counsel does not include the one who may be trying to convince that individual to buy into a small business. Instead, this would consist of his closest friends and family members, along with successful people he may know. 

Finally, the average employee should consider if he needs to further his education in the process of beginning a small home business. The average Joe may have decent business instincts, but classes on how to run a small business will help him succeed even more. Consider specific classes instead of just obtaining a business degree. The degree will only help a person if he plans on seeking employment with a larger company. If he is simply seeking to start his own small home business, then he should take courses specific to his business. 

Dissatisfied employees should not have to bow down to the boss that many refer to as "the man." They do not have to stay chained to the desk at an office that they hate. Instead with some inquiry, wisdom, and old-fashioned hard work, he can be his own boss by beginning his own small home business.
