why you should start your own business today

Across the country and around the world, legions of people are abandoning their dependence on big business and seeking independence through their own enterprises. Every month, about 1 million Americans go through some type of job change or loss, and increasingly they are deciding to start their own businesses.

In a recent report titled Work, Entrepreneurship and Opportunity in 21st Century America, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said, “Millions of Americans are embracing entrepreneurship by running their own small businesses, through independent contracting or direct selling.” The report also cited a recent Gallup poll finding that 61 percent of Americans now say they prefer to be their own bosses.

Working for a traditional corporation has become the risky option. Working for yourself has become the new job security.
One of the biggest reasons for the self-owned business boom is that people love the benefits of working for themselves and enjoy the freedom they gain from designing their own prosperity. You get to choose when you work, how you work and with whom you work.
There is far greater opportunity to make money by building your own business than by working for someone else’s.

After five years of being my own boss, I must say that I cannot see myself going back to working for someone else. Yes, it was tough in the beginning and after so many years of self employment, there are still tough times, but we’ve (my wife and I) have learnt to go with the flow. Someone once said to us “In business, you WILL have profit AND loss”. The words stressed here were “WILL” and “AND”.

Was it difficult getting started? Yes. Read my post titled “Your Mind - Your First Hurdle” and you will see that your biggest and most critical hurdle to being your own boss is your own mind.

On a lighter note, here’s a video you should watch to see why EVERYONE needs to be their own boss.
