As an employee you only have one work priority and that is to work to keep yourself employed!. How you do it depends on your work ethics. I am amazed at people who are employed but also working for their own businesses, juggling time and priorities without sacrificing either is no easy job. If you are self employed with a couple of clients for starters, good for you!. But time will come good ideas will present itself and you have to choose between maintaining and growing your base clientele or give them away for a good idea to work on. Let's just say good ideas are good future investments...

As a person in the IT industry I am now working on projects that are promising -- good ideas from others that I had a chance to be a part of. This time I am juggling time working for these good ideas and satisfying the needs of my current clients. This way, I can invest in my future by working on it at present and at the same working for my daily needs. Its not an easy task though, commitments in two fronts creates priority issues if not handled correctly will affect either or both. The worse case scenario is I loose clients or loose trust from my peers working on a good idea with me.

It is most interesting how the government is giving much support to small enterprise startups. Basically I am trying my hand into running my own business and at the same time being employed. Nope!, not into selling or part time work. I want a full grown own type of business that I can say my own.

The Department Of Trade and Industry is a good source of information on this matter. But the thing is, when I started doing the nitty-gritty stuff of processing the needed requirements to have my own business is totally a different story. While the government itself through it's departments are trying to organize and support small buzzing entrepreneurs, going to the local government units (LGU) which is handling the core business application processes are not that enticing. These city government offices are lagging behind if not bureaucratic in dealing with first time entrepreneurs to be. I was advised to get my papers done by experts and I didn't know that there are experts in processing startup businesses -- it's a small business and not a top 1000 corporation!. But what if I am those people who wants to know the ins and outs of starting a business, from conceptualization to operation. I want to do it myself, filling up application forms, going to LGUs, processing my compliance requirements, and other things. The bottom line is talking to local government representatives to have a feel if my taxes are used to my satisfaction.
