Rather than put this off any longer, the new year is a great time to consider what the future holds. You may not take the leap into self employment on the first day of 2015, but it could be the right time to finally look into the finer details of making a change.
Here are three reasons why now is the time to make a change:

If you do your legwork upfront and feel good about the plan you have in place, you may be surprised at how quickly you find yourself on the path to success.
3. Control of your life. As nice as it may be to have the security of a corporate job, you also realize that you have to answer to others. If you move into the wonderful world of self employment, you are ready to take back the control you have given up over the years. You are so close to the freedom that you should be able to taste it. You just need to go one more step to truly realize that this could be right for you.

Whether or not you jump into self employment in 2015 is your decision. If you decide that the time is now, you won’t be alone.
