Choosing between the stability of a traditional career and the upside of entrepreneurship? Why not have both? Becoming a full-time entrepreneur can look glamorous from the outside. Who doesn’t want to chase their dreams, be their own boss, and do what they love? But the truth is that entrepreneurship is often a slog, with no regular hours, no job security, and very little pay. What if there was a way to have the stability of a day job with the excitement of a startup? All of the benefits of entrepreneurship with none of the pitfalls? In The 10% Entrepreneur, Patrick McGinnis shows you how, by investing just 10% of your time and resources, you can become an entrepreneur without losing a steady paycheck. McGinnis details a step-by-step plan that takes you from identifying your first entrepreneurial project to figuring out the smartest way to commit resources to it. He shows you how to select and engage in projects that will provide you with upside outside the office while making your better at your day job. He also profiles real-world 10% Entrepreneurs such as... •Luke Holden, a cash-strapped recent college graduate, who started his own lobster-roll empire and oversaw much of its first year of operations, all while working full time in corporate America •Dipali Patwa, a designer and mom whose side project designing and selling infant clothing is now a sensation. •A group of friends who met at a 6am Bible study class and went on to start a brewery that now generates millions in sales . A successful 10% Entrepreneur himself, McGinnis explains the multiple paths you can follow to invest your cash, time, and expertise in a start-up—including as a founder, angel, adviser, or aficionado. Most importantly, you don’t have to have millions in disposable income to become a 10% Entrepreneur. When you put McGinnis’s 10% principles into action, you’ll quickly start racking up small wins, then watch as they snowball into your new (and far more entrepreneurial) life.

This book gives you career path pros and cons based on real life experience. You will gain valuable insight, saving you time and money. This book is meant as a career compass steering you in a direction that is more correctly aligned with your area of aptitude. This book is targeted for two groups of people:1) Young adults, ages 16 to 25 who are just starting out or exploring career paths.2) Career changers or those contemplating a career change at any age.A note of caution before you purchase. If you are satisfied with your current career path and are not considering a career change, this book is not intended for you. I share this in the interest of reader satisfaction.Younger readers may find this to be more of an all inclusive guide for their stage of career development. Older career changers will get a sense of exploring options of various career path variables rather than an all inclusive manual.This book includes a large variety of jobs based on real life experience. The inclusion of this wider range is so that you will have insight into jobs or alternative paths you may not have considered before. In these tough economic times, we often are faced with taking a job temporarily that is truly just a job and not a career. Often you will be totally unfamiliar with the job prior to accepting it because you have never considered such a job before. Many of these are included so you will gain a perspective on these jobs too and alternative paths to follow during these temporary career detours. This is a no holds barred candid look inside career paths and the weighing of risk and reward. The career variables of sales, entrepreneurship, combining jobs and businesses are also discussed here. If you want a fresh perspective on your career choices or you are just starting your career, this is your book.Mr. Johnson holds a degree in business management, numerous certificates, and is a United States Air Force Veteran.

Public school students in many states are given the opportunity to choose a potential job to pursue or path of study in one of the 16 national career clusters delineated by the U.S. Department of Education. Some of these career clusters include (1) agriculture, food and natural resources; (2) audio/visual technology and communications; (3) architecture and construction; (4) business, management and administration and (5) education and training. This book provides an excerpt of interviews of 57 professionals in different occupations (teacher, lawyer, doctor, entrepreneur, etc.) to help students learn of jobs for successful employment. The book is also designed to help students visualize how their background fits certain characteristics of professionals so they become inspired to pursue a defined career path. Each professional's occupation in the chapters is linked to one of the 16 national career clusters supported by definitions of the National Association of State Directors of Career Technical Education Consortium. Finally, the book provides a review of best practices various schools have used across the country to prepare students for college and careers.
