Over the past several months, there have been floods of articles from bloggers writing about the pros and cons of starting a business “in this economy”. Articles such as Is Now a Good Time to Start a Business? can really have you contemplating if now’s a good time to step out of the shell.
Recently, Kim Woodbridge of Antisocial Development discovered that this was a good time for her to give her two weeks notice. The post Freelancing During a Recession goes into what brought her to make that life change decision.
For me, going on disability has allowed me more time and energy to work on Green and Chic and help out Steve with his business. Is this the career charge I’ve been looking for? I’m not sure if I will be going back in July or not, but I will not be looking forward to it if I do!
If you are self employed, what drove you to make that decision?
Hi Carla,
Not easy decisions, most definitely. It’s the unknown that holds me back. Or, at least keeps me with one foot still in the nest, while I test the waters.
It sounds like you’ve adjusted quite well to being off of work, and I’m happy to hear this has afforded you more energy for Green and Chic. Best to you, Carla, in whatever decisions you make in the coming months. I’ll be following along…

I started blogging before the recession hit, and I didn’t realize until several months into it that it’s actually a career change. So I guess for me it just happened – I never planned for it.
