Nothing can be as exhilarating or as frightening as setting up your own business. Remember the first time you swam in deep water. You felt trepidation, fear and finally immense satisfaction when you found that you could indeed move around in deep water without drowning. This is how it is with business. You are nervous at first and a little fearful, but as you make a little progress and find your own feet, you feel a sense of pride and liberation. You are the master of your own destiny, and tow nobody else’s line but yours.

Why
set up your own business?
There are several reasons for one to want to set up one’s own business. One may be the kind of person who is naturally entrepreneurial. In that case a job would be something that would stifle you. You could only excel if you did something of your own. For others the great incentive is that you don’t have to report to another individual called your Boss. You can make your own decisions and take the good with the bad. If you are prepared to do that then the world could be your oyster. You don’t have to follow someone else’s 9 to 5 routine. You can have your own set of deadlines and your own routine. However, you will have to follow a disciplined regime of your own if you are to take your business in a specific direction. One of the biggest motivations to establish a business is the urge to make money. If a business takes off and does really well, no job will ever be able to match the kind of money one can make. If you think you have a great idea to make money, you may want to get on with it at the earliest. You may also want to start a business to supplement your existing income. This is especially true of recessionary times. Sometimes you may even start a business because you don’t have a job. Some of the greatest businesses of the world were born out of adversity. There are other reasons for wanting to start a business. You may do it because you don’t like the daily long drive to your office, or you might just not like the nature of your present occupation.
