A few months ago, I decided that it was time for a change.  I was tired of working for the “man”, and I thought that I should try something on my own.  We had been putting money aside for such a venture, and it was time to give self-employment a try.

Now, I didn’t just jump in with both feet into the unknown - there was a lot of planning involved.  There were many choices of things that I could do, and I weighed each option as to what sort of return that I could expect.

In the end, I decided to become a merchant account sales rep, and provide local businesses with terminals to process their credit and debit payments.  The part I liked best was the residual income that it provided, as well as the return on my work that I could expect.

Not even a week into it, I made my first sale, and I have never looked back.  Now, I am making more money than I had thought possible, and I am so happy that I took this path in my life.
