Business Ownership/ Entrepreneurship

After over a month into my internship with Wingteam LLC, I am beginning to understand the value and importance of being a business owner. They way it breaks down is as follows: Graduate from college and latch on to a company with a decent salary and get ready to climb the biggest ladder of your life... Let's fast forward 40 years from now and after countless weeks working 40+ hours a week, it's time to begin your LIFE! Now this statement may sound a little extreme and over-exaggerated but still carries some points of truth to some extend. Now, on the other hand, I feel never has there been a better time for our future leaders of the US to strike up innovation, creativity, and resourcefulness for the option of creating your own business. Working with Wingteam has opened my eyes to the benefits and advantages owning a business can offer. One initial advantage with owning your own business would be the abilities for tax write offs. What's even more intriguing for me is to set your own hours and you are your own boss. One website that I am affiliated with is:

WWW.ECOCLUB.COM

This particular organization showcases many job opportunities and business ventures that are among the field of ecotourism and sustainability. This website also stands as a forum for many like-minded individuals to discuss a variety of different topics within ecotourism.

The more I continue to work with Wingteam, the more I see the exciting possibilities of a future I am in control of. In other words, I see a viable option to my career as working for myself, rather then someone else.
