Things aren't going too well at work. You think, or rather, you know it's just a matter of time before you might get laid off. What are you going to do about it?

You could be thinking the bells are tolling for you, but in truth it could be opportunity knocking at your door. It's just a question of perspective.

Many successful people have started their own businesses when they've lost their jobs. And they've succeeded beyond their wildest expectations. Failure, for them, was a stepping-stone to success.

• Entrepreneurs are in control of their own destinies. They are not dependent on their bosses to keep their jobs.

• If you have a yen for business, find a niche to cater to. Once you find your market, the rest of it gets a lot easier.

• If you have a finger on the pulse of the market, nothing is going to stop you from succeeding.

• Successful business people say it's only the initial fear that is difficult to overcome. It's a lot easier to strike out on one's own than is commonly supposed.

• When it's your own business, you can work with your best skills. Capitalise on your talents.

• Since many big corporate houses have started outsourcing their needs, there is more opportunity for entrepreneurs to come into their own.

• No matter which industry you aspire to enter, make sure you do your homework properly. Research and homework are critical for any business.
