Why I Love Being an Entrepreneur!
I never imagined being a business owner. I wasn’t business savvy, and anything business-related was a turn-off for me. Working for someone else’s company didn’t feel like a “fail” for me, and it still doesn’t, as long as I love what I do and it aligns with my goals. However, things changed in 2020 when my husband and I were laid off a few weeks apart. I made a promise to myself that this would be the last time my family would ever worry about money for generations to come.
So, I started my own business. I went all out with it too. I hired a business coach, attended business conferences, and traveled for business-related events. I built business credit and used it to leverage more money.
I’m not going to lie; It has been a lot of trial and error, mindset shifts, imposter syndrome, and wondering if I’ve made the right decision. I’ve also contemplated giving up more times than I care to admit.
5 Reasons why I love being an entrepreneur
- I get to spend more time with my family. I get to attend teacher meetings, school field trips, and activities.
- I created muliple streams of income for my household. The average millionaire has at least 7 streams of income.
- I get major tax benefits. I can write off my home office, supplies, meals, business travel & more.
- I am able to create the life I want to live. I do not want to work Monday through Friday and only have the weekends off. I want to be able to take a vacation anytime I want.
- It’s mine! It feels good to create something that is solely yours.
I am still learning when it comes to business. Some days I feel like I can keep my head above water; other days, I feel like I’m taking a huge gulp. Nevertheless, I’ve grown so much as a person, and I’ve set my family on a different path. See, I’m breaking generational curses of poverty here. My children will not have to worry about money in their lifetime because I’m setting them up for generational wealth.
