10 Reasons why you should start your own business
With the right attitude, planning, and determination, 2021 could be the year for you to start your own business. But why would you even think of starting a business in this economy and during a pandemic?
Here are 10 reasons why you should start your own business….
Never work another day in your life
Picture running a business that is your passion, you love what you do and you can’t wait to start your working day. If you love what you do this much you will never work another day in your life.
You are your own boss
The only person you have to answer in your own business is yourself. Being your own boss gives you the freedom to do things your way, work your hours, implement your own plans, and live the work/life you want.
Create your own culture
You can set your own work culture, do you want to work in a fun, professional, and/or creative environment? You have the ability to make this happen.
More spare time
It doesn’t happen straight away, but once you are established and you have employees handling the majority of responsibilities, you will have more spare time. I don't know about you but one thing COVID has taught me is that I like my spare time, I like not being busy all the time and being less frantic in my business and social calendar.
Being an expert
Focussing on what it is you do best and doing it every day makes you an expert.
Networking
You will naturally meet new people, network with other business owners and professionals. This can be done by joining business groups who have all pivoted to the online space where needed or simply by meeting new prospective clients.
New challenges
Every day will bring a new challenge to your business. It’s a great way to stimulate the mind and keep you on your toes.
Financial independence
It doesn’t come straight away, however tenacity helps, stick to the plan (we recommend you have a plan) and you will achieve financial independence. If you want a pay rise, then give yourself one.
Create an asset
You can either create a job for yourself or you can create a saleable asset. The choice is solely yours.
Create a legacy
If creating a job or a saleable business isn’t your choice, you have the ability to be the first generation of a business that is passed down through the ages.
