Are you a host for a TV show about an Ontario microFit program or a sales person that pitches ‘why rigid foam insulation should be in your home’ to your clients? Maybe you are a marriage counsellor or a worker that studies manufacturing software, my point I am trying to get across is do you really love your job? do you want to spend the rest of your life working for someone else? If you answered no to at least one of those questions, maybe it is time to start thinking outside the box!

Would you like to retire before you are 60 or allow your children to go to any university they please? Maybe you would like to get into some after work activities such as a dance class or install those wall systems that have been on your list of to do’s for a while? Or you really need to get some new patio furniture, hire a  home staging professional to re-decorate and look at some swimming pools for your upcoming backyard party?

All of those seem so time consuming and quite a lot of money, but if you developed your very own business you would not have any of these problems.

Below I will give you six reasons why you should start your own business and live the life you have always wanted!

1. Job Security – Not too long ago it was said that starting your very own business was a little risky and the safest way to go was to get a job in a large firm, now a days it is complete opposite. Working for yourself you can take control over things and completely master your own destiny.

2. Freedom – Who wouldn’t love working for themselves? You get to choose when you work, how you work and who you work with. Plus you do not have to make the choice between family or business.

3. Flexibility – You could live in the boonies or in a large city, regardless you can easily run a fully competitive business from your very own computer.

4. Make More Money – There is a way greater opportunity for you to make money by creating your own business rather than working for someone else. If you have your own business than you write your own history, success stories, legacy and obviously your very own pay cheque.

5. Greater Impact – If you have your own business you will be more passionate about what you do at work.

6. Second Career – Many people cannot retire when it comes time to and it has been said that 78 million baby boomers realize they do not even want to retire, simply because they want to make a difference and reflect their values and identity that they never did before.

So, there you have it, six reasons why you should start your very own business. You can live the life you have always wanted, buy the things you need and actually love your job! Now go out there and start planning your business idea!
