At first glance, their doesn't seem to be much incentive to run your own business. It's time consuming, it can be hard to get it up and running, and you're responsible for any mistakes. However, it's undeniable that there are perks (including the potential to work in your pajamas, if that's your thing.) Let's look at some of them
1. You are your own boss. Probably my favorite perk. Everything in your company is up to you for the most part. How it's run, what hours you work, how you schedule things. This is the fundamental reason for having your own business, while also tying hand in hand with some of the other reasons.
2. You can get creative. The world is your oyster, and you can implement ideas as you see fit. What you're doing doesn't seem right? Tear it down and start again. As far as what you can design, there are no rules
3. You're on your own schedule. Making something doesn't seem appealing today? You'd rather spend time with your family? Perfectly possible when running your own business.
4. You can do things YOUR way. Without a boss telling you what do, there's no pressure. All that matters is that you and your customers are satisfied with the end result.
5. You can go outside the norm. This synchronizes perfectly with number 2 and 4. Get your creative juices flowing.
6. You can choose your own hours. Often times, when I have trouble falling asleep, I get up and go to work. If I want to get my work done early and have the rest of the day off, that's possible
As you can see, running a business has irrefutable benefits, but it's not for everyone. You have to discipline yourself. You are the only one representing your business. You have to believe in your product to sell it. If you've always had a vision in your head, maybe it's time to make it a reality. You don't particularly work well with others? Maybe being the only one working is the right thing for you. Whatever you decide to do, the sky's the limit.
