I would think one of the most important benefits of working for yourself are that you can forge your own affiliations and associations with people. In most cases, when we are working for someone else, we are stuck with people we do not much like. We may have to do business with people whom we do not ethically prefer to be our clients. Such things happen when we are servants of someone else. But, in working for yourself, the person gets the extreme freedom of picking and choosing. And that is a very great benefit.
Another important advantage that most people don’t speak about is that working for yourself gives you the freedom to dabble in all aspects of the business. While this could be intimidating to some of us, for creatively-minded people, being able to have a say in every aspect of the business could be very enriching. When you are self-employed with a business to call your own, you can manage the production in the way you want, advertise with your own creative inputs, invest in the way you want, employ people whom you want to work with you… in fact, you can give your business your own identity. When you are self-employed, your business is just an extension of yourself. You are not a part of big corporate business and working the way they want – you are your own master and boss!
But the best benefit is that working for yourself can give you satisfaction in more ways than one. There is a total improvement in your lifestyle. Your work hours are not bound as much as they would be in a job, you can take as much or as less work as you want. If there is an event in your family, such as a wedding, you are free to arrange your schedules accordingly. And you get a very deep satisfaction that you are really creating something, not just helping someone else to sell their stuff. That is one of the best reasons why you should contemplate of entering into your own business.
