Sound familiar? millions of americans find themselves in the same predicament. and at one time or another, many of them (you perhaps?) consider moving to some remote locale, living simply, and starting a business. The dream business, however, isn’t always the same. it may be a bar in Key west, a surf shop in costa rica, a winery in napa, or a ski shop in aspen, among many other possibilities. perhaps it’s not a new business that populates the dream, but a new locale—you visualize your accounting firm in vermont, your restaurant in maui, your dental office on bainbridge island, or your consulting firm just about anywhere. regardless, the dream may remain just that— a dream. for whatever reason, whether lacking funding, know-how, or just plain old energy, your plans may not have gotten off the ground. you stay in your job, and count the years to retirement. if you are feeling dissatisfied, you are certainly not alone. consider that a whopping three-fourths of u.s. workers are either actively or passively looking for a new job at any given time, according to the 2006 u.s. Job retention survey, conducted by the society for human resource management (shrm). for those who voluntarily left their jobs in 2006, the motivating factor was often less about money or career opportunities, and increasingly about the need for a change. “ready for a new experience” was the second biggest reason that employees left their jobs in 2006, according to the survey. That reason moved up from a distant fourth place just two years earlier. similarly, “career change” also moved up sharply, to fifth place in 2006 from eighth place in 2004.
