How many times have you felt like quitting your job? Do you feel like your hard work isn’t even noticed? Are you under paid and over worked? Do you ever feel like you spend more time at work than you do with those closest to you? Don’t you hate the daily commute to and from work? Half asleep on the bus or tube! I have had all of those feelings. I felt as though my job was taking over my life. If I wanted to take a day off from work I would have to book it. If I wanted to go on away for a few days I would have to ask if I was able to do so. I felt like I was being treated like a child. I had enough of being underpaid and over parented so I decided to begin working for myself. I have listed these four reasons as my own personal motivations.
Control – Employers can be very demanding in terms of your time. In most cases the position and type of company you work for define the type of lifestyle you will lead. By becoming self employed you take control of all aspects of your life. You control what time you wake up in the morning, what you do in the day and how much money you will or won’t make. Now this isn’t always a good thing. If you are not disciplined then you may struggle to make it as an entrepeneur. But if you are positive and proactive then you can truly take charge of your life.
Lifestyle – Working for yourself can be one of the best ways of expressing who you are and living the lifestyle that you want to live. There is no conforming and you can do and earn money from the things that you enjoy and have an interest in. Now you may be thinking to yourself that ‘you would never make money doing what you love,’ but if you think about it wherever theres a penny spent theres a penny earnt. You can prioritze and do the things that are most important to you and your business. You can spend quality time with those who are close to you!
Financial Rewards – Being self employed does not mean that you are going to earn loads of money and get rich. There are lots of factors that dictate how much money you will make. However by working for yourself you have taken one step closer to making as much money as you want to make. As an example, if you started a business and 2 months later you were making $100 dollars a day selling ladies shoes, by adding a similar product line, say you began selling mens shoes as well with all things being relative you could expect to earn twice as much money. Now the things to take into consideration is that you would still be working the same amount of time.
Giving – Ever wonder why so many places encourage entrepeurism? Successful businesses create money and that money created gets spread into the economy be it local or worldwide. You actually become a creator of wealth! Not just for yourself but for other people as well. These people could be in your community or half way across the world. You may hire staff or order supplies which are helping other people and businesses respectively. By making money for yourself you will inevitably make money for other people as well. All without the stress of answering to your boss.
Staring your own business can be hard work and it’s not going to be easy. But hard work is a key ingredient for success. But don’t just work harder, work smarter as well!
