As we wrap up the year with this episode of Small Business with Steve Strauss powered by Microsoft, we take a look at the ultimate goal of all entrepreneurs; to Become Self Employed! Steve has some great tips on what you should be doing to prepare yourself for this challenging and rewarding, career change.

Then Steve interviews someone who truly changed his life. Barbara Winter is the author of Making A Living Without A Job. It’s all about finding what makes you happy and then being successful at that. She also has a wonderful website called Joyfully Jobless, which sees self-employment as “an opportunity to share our unique gifts, passions and eccentricities with others so every citizen proudly creates a one of a kind enterprise that is a perfect fit for them.” Let Barbara change your life, too!

Don’t forget, you can submit your question for an “Ask An Expert Live” segment by sending an email to [email protected].
