5. You’re Ready to Build a Legacy
People often find their way to entrepreneurship once they realize that they are tired of working one dead-end job after the other. There’s only so much room for growth when working under a boss. If you’re tired of chasing promotions, doing the grunt work, and coming home day after day chasing someone else’s dreams, you’re likely ready to start building your legacy.
While working as a regular employee pays the bills, it doesn’t create something that you can pass down to your family. Comparatively, once your create your own business, you’ll be working towards building something your children will be able to benefit from, then pass on to their own kids. By starting today, you’re making major steps towards creating a better future for yourself and your family.
6. You Want to Enjoy a Passive Income
The drawback of working as an employee (and even running certain businesses) is the fact that you have to be present to do the work. While there is nothing wrong with hard work, the ideal business will put your money to work for you. By starting your own company, you are planting the seed to growing your passive income.
The only real way to build wealth is through passive income. This is how the rich become wealthy and how they keep growing their wealth. By starting a successful business that makes money while you sleep, you’ll be able to reap the benefits of your newfound passive income.
7. It’s Better to Start Sooner Rather Than Later
2019 only signals the start of another year that you are getting older. In the coming years, you won’t have the same resources, energy, and reach that you do right now. While you likely hope to grow personally and professionally as the years go on, it’s better to start your business now, rather than later. This is especially important when you consider that many new businesses don’t make a profit until a year after their inception..
By starting your business as soon as possible, you’ll give yourself and your new company time to grow. While it is important to ensure you are ready to start your business, entrepreneurs must learn to seize every opportunity that they have.
Think of 2019 as the year you change your life forever. This year is your chance to become the entrepreneur that you’ve always wanted to be. Set the fear aside, and jump into the world of small business ownership with both feet.
