People have many different reasons for starting their own business. My personal reason for wishing to go out on my own was being my own boss. I work well on my own schedule and accomplish more when I'm in an environment where I can listen to my own music, talk to whoever I want when I want and even get up and dance if the move strikes!
Here are more reasons people opt to go out on their own:
Being your own boss - As I mentioned, being your own boss comes with many rewards. You decide when, what, who, where and how.
Create your own schedule - I know the whole 9 - 5 schedule isn't always my cup of tea. In fact most mornings a large cup of coffee doesn't do it! While you are going to be working longer hours when you first start up your own business, you have the freedom to decide when those hours will be. Personally, starting at noon and ending at 8p.m. would be ideal. My creative juices start flowing after lunch! Whenver you do start you can break whenever you want throughout the day for running errands, picking up kids etc.
You can choose your clients - The advice I have read and heard since beginning my research on starting my own VA business has been to pick and choose my clients wisely. The freedom of working for yourself should also be working for people who motivate you and energize you. Not for people you may find in an office environment who may drain you and stress you out. It's ok to pick and choose who you want to work with.
It's simple - you'll be doing what you love - What can be more rewarding than doing something everyday that you love? If this hasn't fallen into your lap already through a company, create the feeling yourself by opening up your own business!
