Repotting

 

There is a popular misconception that people start their own business for financial reasons, to get rich, but that is merely one reason, if at all. The reality is that business owners start their own companies for a variety of reasons and what they all have in common is self-control. The entrepreneurs create an environment consistent with their own values, goals and work ethics. 

The vast majority of working people strive to please an employer, a boss or company which so often does not share with their own values or goals and the companies often define for the employees what those traits should be. These contingencies determine their employment or status with that company.  

Many daring individuals, particularly the late bloomers, decide to create a work environment consistent with their own vision. Entrepreneurs choose the products, services, employees and culture they see fit. 

The real benefit of changing from employment to self-employment is that we get to define our own life instead of having someone else define it for us.
