There are many capable, passionate and hard-working men and women out there carrying with them a secret dream - to become an entrepreneur someday. But they are too dependent on their 9 to 5 jobs for their existing commitments and thus breaking free isn’t an option. I should know it, I was one of them; but not anymore.
I have realized that a path exists, a path that lies between the safe 9 to 5 path and the risky full-time entrepreneurial path. This path in the middle is that of part-time entrepreneurship.
Through my book (Amazon - Search for "Polanki") and my website www.PartTimeStartups.com , I’ll teach you what I practice. This is all about generating ideas, managing time, leveraging technology, and the toughest of them all - minimizing risk.
Yes, It is possible to become Part-Time Entrepreneur while working full time. I am not saying its easy, but it can be done.
