Being Gainfully Unemployed is actually a state of mind---a spiritualawakening and a way of life. Or, it is the fact that you decided to quityour day job and do something fun and exciting. Or, it could be thatrenting snorkels on a beach in Mexico provides a better chance foradvancement. It is whatever you want it to be! The idea behind becomingGainfully Unemployed is to work for yourself in such a way that you canactually do better for yourself than as a full-time employee for someoneelse.I've always been a highly schedule-oriented individual. I need to have anorganized list of tasks that direct me toward an ultimate goal. With that,I knew that if I was ever going to leave my full-time job, I had to sit downand map out my direction. Of course, I had no idea which direction I wasgoing, so I had to figure that out as well.This article provides an overview of the steps I took in developing my planof attack. I had to determine what I wanted, where I wanted to go, and howI had to get there.* Prepare Your PlanThe plan is the most important part of starting out on your new endeavor.It is essential to map out your direction so to know how to get to where youwant to go. The also plan helps you know when you get there. It can beused for motivation, direction, ideas, and helping to keep you on track whenyour brain starts down a tangent.The plan itself is based on three important items:* the Mission,* the Vision, and* your Goals.The Mission is a short statement about your overall direction---what youplan to do. The Vision identifies where you might see yourself in fiveyears---your long term objective and direction. The Goals identifyshort-term objectives---the stepping stones to achieve your Mission andreach your Vision.* Set Yourself UpThere are two ways to make it happen for you: quit your job now or setyourself up to be able to step off into a comfortable opportunity. I wouldsuggest the latter as life is much easier when you make it happen your wayinstead of having to claw and pray that you can pay your bills.You need to start talking with potential clients and get your name outthere. You also need to begin work right away in the direction you want togo by working at night and weekends to make it happen. This step will testyour abilities at handling your new venture before you leave your full-timejob. If you can't make it happen on a part-time basis, then stop here andkeep your day job.* Prepare Your BusinessThe type of business entity and direction you select is important forprofessional presentation and for tax purposes. It is important toresearch your direction and match it against a business entity that willbest meet your needs.* Market Your Product or ServiceSelecting your market is very important for success. You want to makesure that the market you select suits your product or service (i.e.,telecommuting freelance work, etc.) You don't want to have to wrestle withpotential clients to make a sale---you want your product or service to beaccepted. You can storm the walls later, just make it happen for now.* Pack Away the MoneyWhile you are working full-time, make sure to pack away that extra money forwhen you make your leap. There are various ways to determine when you arefinancially ready for the leap and ways to make sure you don't go broke inthe process.* Easy Does ItMake sure that everyone in your family is prepared for the change. Also,make sure that you have established yourself so that you can walk into yournew endeavor with confidence. This is just as important as finances! Yournew work environment and lifestyle will affect everyone differently.* Quit Your JobWe reach that glorious day when you quit your full-time job. Do it withdignity and style. You never know, your former employer could be your firstclient and your best reference for other clients.
