Startups are a lot of hard work but can really pay off if you go do your homework and dream big. How do you know if you are ready to take the plunge into entrepreneurship? Well, take a look at these five reasons to get going to convince you that ecommerce might just be the right fit for you:
- Freedom
Self-employed individuals have more flexibility and freedom to design their own work week. Now don’t get me wrong, most entrepreneurs work more hours per week than the standard salaried employee, but the freedom is that entrepreneurs pick the when and how their work gets done.
- Passion
Steve Jobs once said that “The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it, keep looking. Don’t settle.”. This idea is the startup mantra. By following your passion you can continue to push the limits of what you are truly happy doing.
- Security
When you work for yourself you never have to worry about getting laid off or fired. As a startup business your job exists as long as you enjoy the work and strive for your goals. Successful entrepreneurs often express the joy that can come from a successful day working for yourself compared to a successful day at the office. Shark Tank judge, Lori Greiner, says that “Entrepreneurs are willing to work 80 hours a week to avoid working 40 hours a week.”. This is very true and the results are worth the time spent.
- Benefits
An at-home startup business can add income to an already existing salary or go a long way as a source of income for stay-at-home caretakers and students; there are dozens of options for part-time entrepreneurship. It’s a good idea to test the waters with a new idea before you quit your day job. There are also great tax benefits reserved for those who are self-employed. Talk to your tax professional for more information.
- You Want To
This last reason, of course, is the most important. You will never realize your true potential unless you give it a shot. Nelson Mandela once said “It always seems impossible until it’s done.”. Every great idea started with someone wondering “what if?”. Imagine the possibilities of your personal “what if?”.
