Keep your day job
Although you are an independent thinker, your skills are needed in your current job. You are an asset to your employer as well as your co-workers! If you were to quit, replacing you would be greatly difficult. In addition, without the right team, pursuing self-employment may pose some challenges to you.

Request a promotion
You are the definition of being a team player and you keep a lot of things in order on your current job. You have such an influential role that you would profit more with a promotion than striking out on your own. In many respects, self-employment would mean starting over for you, and you've come to far for that!

Consider a career change
Your abilities, dedication, and professionalism will make you just as effective in another job as you are now in your current job. However, you probably feel a little taken for granted by your employer. Self-employment could be more satisfying for you. On the other hand, a simple career change may make you the happiest!

Work from home
Like so many people, you do not feel fulfilled in your current job. Whether it's the routine schedule or the growing list of deadlines, you feel like you could be doing more with your life. Trying to please a difficult boss just for that regular paycheck is not worth your peace of mind! You should consider working from home.

Start your own business
You've been thinking about making a move for some time now, because your current position is not cutting it. You feel like there's a lot going on that you could do much better. Perhaps you see a need or service that would improve people's lives. What are you waiting for? Go start your own business!

Be a boss
Off and on, you have dabbled in working for yourself either by choice or circumstance. Either way, you enjoyed being your own boss much more than answering to someone else. You should tap into that energy, make a commitment to yourself, and be a boss! Some people you know will be happy to follow you as well.
