Start A New Career As A Writer

I read an excerpt in Self Magazine the other day that said the best is yet to come. It’s true. Too many people who want to start their own business, regardless of the kind of business they want to start, think it is too late. Time has run out. That simply isn’t true.

You don’t have to publish your first novel by 30. You can start a new career, even if you don’t have one now, regardless of your age, your experience and your skills. It’s true. All you need is motivation… and maybe a little inspiration.

According to the article I read, citing David Galenson Ph.D who is author of Old Masters and Young Geniuses, many creative people don’t peak until later in life, after 30s, well into their 40s and beyond. Why? They have more life experiences to share with the world.

Many creative people he points out, as does Self, that people learn through experience and trial and error. So it may take some time to fine tune your craft. And that is ok. Whatever your pursuit.

Have you ever seen the movie Rudy? You know, about the college kid who wanted to play football. Everyone told him he couldn’t do it. But he persisted. An important tagline from that flick you should consider is this… “Sometimes a winner is a dreamer who just won’t quit…”
So don’t quit. If you want to start your own successful business from home you can do it. All you need is persistence, passion and dedication. And a few, carefully planned out strategies.
How do you start? Why not write down your goals. List your top three goals for your freelance writing business. That’s the first place to begin.
