STARTING OUT
Now that you’ve decided what aspect of transcription you’re going to do, let’s get started!
It’s a great idea to start out part time if you possibly can and build things up slowly, however if you have lost your job or have some financial backing to see yourself through some times of setting up, then it may be viable for you to start out full time.
You will probably get many people who tell you it won’t work. Those are people who either want to manipulate you in some way or have employee mindsets. If you go into this with an entrepreneurial mindset and the belief that it’s what you want to do and if you are prepared to work harder than you’ve ever worked before — as Shakespeare puts it, “suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune”, then there is no
reason why it should not work. Be warned however, this is not for people who are lazy and want things to fall into their lap. It has to be fought for, and things can happen for you from day one or from year six. Fighting for something you believe in means going against the flow if necessary and surrounding yourself with people who believe in it as opposed to listening to negativity.
