Do you find yourself cursing your employer under your breath? Do you feel under appreciated? Under paid? And Over worked? Can you admit to doing just enough work to not get the sack and no more than you have to? Have you ever felt like you spend more time at work than you do with your friends and family? I have been there, feeling stuck in a job with not much prospects. I felt as though I was becoming my job, my life revolved around it. If I wanted to take a day off I would have to book it. If I wanted to go on holiday I would have to ask if I was able to do so. I felt as though I had left school as a child and went back to school as an adult. I mean we literally had a register to sign at the place I worked and if you were late you had to go and see the headmaster, I mean manager and explain why and write a small report explaining what you would do to make sure that it wouldn’t happen again. I had enough of being underpaid and over parented and decided to begin working for myself. I have listed these four reasons as my own personal motivations.

Control – Working for someone else can be quite restricting in terms of your time and your finances. Many companies place demands on being able to work at specific places and times. By becoming self employed you take control of all aspects of your life. You decide what time you wake up in the morning, what you do in the day and how much money you make. Now this can be also be a bad thing as well as a good thing. If you lack discipline then don’t expect a great lifestyle. 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 is not an automatic ticket to success. There are alot of things that determine how much money you will make. But by working for yourself you have become financially independent and 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 lingerie online, by adding a similar product line, something like mens underwear as well with all things considered equal you could expect to earn twice as much money. The good thing to take into consideration is that you would still be working approximately 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!
