We want to help you to build a life on your terms, but one of the biggest hurdles is figuring out what to do. The internet is a treasure trove of inspiration, but we’re not talking about shiny things, schemes, or the latest fad.
We’ve collected these stories from the web to inspire you, to get you thinking differently, to think less like an employee and more like an entrepreneur. We’re not suggesting you need to find something to copy, but when you immerse yourself in the ideas of others, you’ll be amazed how your own thinking starts to change, and your own ideas start to surface.
None of the income claims in these headlines are intended to suggest they can be replicated,they are simply the headlines used by the publishers.
