Why did you become an entrepreneur? Or if you are just planning to become one, why be an entrepreneur?

Is it because:

  • You love the idea of succeeding based on your own terms?
  • You love the game and challenge of entrepreneurship?
  • You want to become rich?
  • You want to become financially secure?
  • You know you can change the world with your business?
  • You like to be financially secure?
  • You enjoy giving back to the community?
  • You feel you can do and gain so much more on your own outside the confines of employment?
  • Or is it because you have no other option at this point but try to make it on your own?

Whatever reasons you have for becoming an entrepreneur, I’d love to hear it!

  3. Here are some of the reasons I’ve been self-employed most of my life:

    No boss
    Flexible hours
    Unlimited opportunity to increase your income
    Free vacation period
    Free work attire
    No office gossip
    No office politics
    No co-worker problems
    No rules to follow
    No morning and evening commute
    You get paid first
    Many tax advantages-deductions
    No rules
    Total flexibility for family & personal time
    Total freedom to make decisions
    Get paid to do something you love

    and the most important one:

    “Working for someone else is like riding on the passenger seat. You don’t have control over your success, your boss does!”

  5. That pretty much covers why I am an entrepreneur! I started out in the cleaning service industry and now I teach people online how to start a cleaning business. So now I am an Internet entrepreneur. Which has these added advantages-

    Automation of work process.
    Work anywhere that is online.
    Exponential returns on effort.
    Really fast start up time.
    Really cheap to start.
    Waaaaay less physically demanding!

    Just wanted to chime in and say keep up the blogging!
