Reasons Why You Should Be an Entrepreneur

"In this economy....." That's what many people say these days. In 2009 millions were laid off, and thousands of companies had to close. Incidentally, a few were still making it happen. Henrik Fisker, former head designer of BMW, Aston Martin, and Ford was busy creating his own car company, Fisker Automotive. All of this was happening while the giant automakers were shutting down. In 2009 the "millionaires club" actually grew by 16%. How could all of this still be happening, while so many were suffering? Entrepreneurs stepped up with new ideas, got busy working, and decided to go for it.

4 Reasons You Should Be an Entrepreneur

1. Job Security. If you own your own company, no one can lay you off. You have the ability to work hard and decide which direction your business will go in. Best of all, you write your own paycheck.

2. Freedom and Flexibility. There is no price tag on freedom of choice or freedom of time. Entrepreneurs can do what they want, when they want to do it. They choose who they want to work with and how they're going to do it.

3. Make More Money. There is much more opportunity to make more money when you work for yourself, rather than working for someone else.

4. A Life of Greater Impact. 84% of people polled said they would be more passionate about their work if they owned their own business. People tend to care more if something is their own.
