Reasons to Start a New Business
Updated: Sep 11, 2018
Starting a small business can be a big step for someone to take, as it may require leaving the comfort and security of a regular job for a what might be a more uncertain financial future. Small business success may also require a great deal of planning, enough initial capital to sustain the owner during the start-up period and possibly a bit of luck. These are a few key reasons why you may want to make the decision to start a small business.
Income Potential
When you start your own business, you have the opportunity to earn an unlimited income based on your own efforts and the success or failure of the enterprise. This differs from working for a company where your income may be limited by a salary structure or the evaluation of your performance by your superiors.
Pursuing a Passion
Starting your own business allows you to make a living while pursuing something for which you have a strong passion. You may have a special talent, such as writing, playing music or repairing automobiles that you've enjoyed as a hobby. By turning it into a business, you may find more enjoyment and fulfillment in your work life that can lead to a happier life in general.
A Good Idea
You may have an idea for a product or service that meets an unfulfilled need in the marketplace. By turning your idea into a business, you can be the first to meet that need which can result in a profitable venture. You could profit even more by teaching your idea to others or by creating a business model, which you can turn into a franchise.
New Lifestyle
Starting a business can be a way for those who are tired of the "9-to-5" grind to leave the corporate world and enter into a more flexible lifestyle. Depending on the type of business you choose, you may be able to work a more flexible schedule, which can allow you to spend more time with family and friends. A business can also appeal to those who enjoy making their own decisions without direction from others.
Self-Expression
Owning a business allows you to be more creative and express yourself. You are not restricted by having to follow a set work methodology, and you're free to change your work processes if you wish. You can also create additional products or services to meet customer demands.
