There are many benefits to becoming an Entrepreneur, making it hard to narrow down the list to just 6. I remember before I started down the path of entrepreneurship, sitting at my desk in my cubicle in my corporate job and daydreaming of what it would be like to run my own business. Thinking to myself, what would it be like? How would things be different? How would I feel? I can tell you that it feels great for the most part, I am challenged every day and there have been a lot of positive changes along the way. Here are my top 6 reasons to become a lifestyle Entrepreneur:

1. Freedom: Depending on what type of business you start you could have the freedom that comes with being location independent and easily travel as you do business or have the option to move the location of your business as you desire. You have control over your schedule and can design your ideal workday. You have freedom over what you create and bring to market.
   
   

2. Creativity: There are lots of ways to get your creative juices going such as daily activities in marketing, strategy, improving your product or service, and problem solving. Lots of time in our corporate careers we do not get nearly as much time to be creative as we should, and this is one of the biggest benefits of being an Entrepreneur. Using our creativity is fun and rewarding.
   
   

3. Contribution: You get to decide what impact you have on the world and what gaps you fill and how you contribute to society.
   
   

4. Develop New Skills & Hidden Talents: Often in a corporate career, we are put in a box with limited scope, detailed roles and responsibilities and we are exercising some skills and talents but it’s not always the skills and talents that we want to focus on. As an Entrepreneur, you are going to be wearing so many different hats, learning new skills and realizing talents you didn’t even know you had. As you get going with your business, if there is something you don’t want to do or something that you're not good at, you can hire someone else to do it and really hone in and focus on what you're good at.
   
   

5. Unlimited Earning Potential: In our corporate career, we know how much money we make in our salary band, if we move up one level, we know how much we can make in that salary band. There always seems to be a cap on how much money we can make and how fast we can make it. As an Entrepreneur, the more value you provide, the more you make and there is no limit on how fast you can make it.
   
   

6. Manage Stress: You do not need to worry about working for a bad boss or working in a toxic work environment. As an Entrepreneur, you get to choose who you work with and when. You are the boss, so hopefully your kind to yourself. You can achieve a healthier lifestyle, with freedom over your schedule, you can build meditation, walks, and fitness into your workday.

Those are my top 6 reasons to become a lifestyle Entrepreneur. If you think you're ready to escape the corporate world, start your business and design your ideal life, then send me a message to inquire about private 1 on 1 coaching or take my entrepreneur quiz to find out.
