Becoming An Entrepreneur

Deciding to become an entrepreneur was easy for me. I am not happy being governed by a boss. I wanted to work for myself and be in control of my future. But what to do? There are many options available. I actually looked into franchise opportunities. There were way to many stipulations. The initial upfront cost was significant, most were around $250,000. Then the royalties and other fees expected, like advertising were high. These high figures would cut into the income of the business. We would not even break for 2-3 years, maybe more depending on sales. I was not about to throw 3 years away for a 80 hour work week. This was not for me.

So I thought since I wanted to work for myself I need to have the education to do so. I went to school and received my business degree. I thought I wanted to start my own business as an accountant. I liked doing this but it requires so much time. I could make good money working 80 hours a week and never have time to enjoy it.

So I knew I wanted to work for myself and have the time freedom to enjoy my life with my family. So I found this opportunity to start my own business working from home or traveling, 10-15 hours a week,  and an unlimited amount of income.  This was exactly what I was looking for.

Starting a home based business can absolutely change the way you live.  Having the money and time to spend with my family was my main priority and now I can.  Becoming and entrepreneur is not for everyone.  But for those that choose to become an entrepreneur starting their own online home based business, they can have the life they desire for themselves and their family.
