There are many advantages associated with starting your own business
selling services. Perhaps the biggest advantage is you become your own
boss, take control of your future, and in effect become the master of
your destiny. I've been self-employed for a number of years, and for me
the lure of self-employment is the freedom and independence that calling
the shots affords, which can be difficult to achieve when you work for
others.
Operating your own business also gives you the potential to earn more
money, in some instances two, five or even ten times more than you're
currently earning. Why? Simple duplication. When you work for someone
else, there is only you and only so many hours in the day to work for an
hourly wage or a salary. When you operate a business, you can duplicate
yourself by hiring employees and salespeople to increase revenues; you
can duplicate your customers and find more just like them to purchase
your services; and you can duplicate your business model and open in new
geographical areas to service more customers and earn more profit.
These are all things you can't do when you work for others, and if you
do, chances are it will financially benefit the boss a lot more than
you.
