Nice article in Palm Springs newspaper on self-employment

I occasionally cruise the online newspapers to see who is featuring articles about home businesses that are true self-employment (when you sell something, all the profits go to you and NOT to an upline) and can be done for a fairly reasonable cost in time and money.

Although there's not a single business here, there's a nice little article in the Desert Sun about the trend toward self-employment. And while you're enjoying it, do a clicquez-vous on some of the articles in the right-side of the page about setting up businesses and so forth:

Choosing to be self-employed not a simple decision

CHICAGO -- Sarah Levy loved being a restaurant pastry chef -- but not the long hours, the relatively low pay, or the constant yelling that goes on in high-stress kitchens.

So this spring, the 23-year-old Chicagoan moved to a different kitchen -- at her parents’ home -- and launched her own business, Sarah’s Pastries & Candies Inc.

"I feel better when I’m working for myself and building a name for myself," says Levy, who started turning a profit last month.

She’s one of the lucky ones; she got financial backing from her dad to help start the business. But she’s not alone in her decision to strike out on her own. A number of young people are doing the same, driven by everything from a wish for more flexibility to a chance to test their own ideas.
