Hmmm. Interesting. Perhaps both is best. Having a job and making a business.

According to the survey results from the recent EVG Research Survey, nearly half of their members and subscribers own a business in one form or another.

Let’s take a closer look at the survey results...from 5000 of their members.

• 25% make under $30,000 per year (USD)
• 21% make between $30,000 - $50,000 per year
• 34% make between $50,000 - $100,000 per year
• 18% make between $100,000 - $250,000 per year
• 2% make MORE than $250,000 per year

BUT...when you break it down to those who identified themselves as “employees” only, or employees who also run a part-time business, and those who run full-time businesses, there are some interesting trends:


As having at least a part-time business helps you easily move up an income bracket ... If you just want to boost your chance at making over $100K per year, hanging on to your job AND starting a part-time business appears to be the best bet.

BUT ... if you want to have a chance at making at least $250k per year or more, owning your own business more than quadruples your chance.

So having your own business is a good idea. But having a part time business as well as a job is a better idea. Hmmm. Interesting.

But are there businesses out there you can do part time, from your laptop, after your job from 9-5? Are their businesses you could run and make money from, from your mobile phone. The mind boogles.
