As business and sales coaches, we are lucky to work with some absolutely amazing entrepreneurs. Whether they\u2019re early in their careers and working with a coach<\/a> to help them navigate rough waters or they\u2019re experienced entrepreneurs who want a professional coach in their corner, entrepreneurs of all kinds make America tick.<\/p>\n

In honor of National Entrepreneurship Week, which falls on the third week of February each year, we wanted to celebrate those entrepreneurs and highlight what we think are the top six benefits of breaking out on your own:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a Rewarding Career<\/strong>: You can build a wonderful, lucrative career as a cog in a wheel, but there\u2019s just something special about being the one who actually designed, built and now owns the entire wheel. While others \u201cgo to work\u201d each day \u2013 if you design your business around systems and not your own technical abilities \u2013 you can spend your days focusing on making that business stronger rather than doing the day-to-day work. Being an entrepreneur gives you the opportunity to build a legacy.<\/p>\n

You have Independence<\/strong>: While being an entrepreneur can be super demanding and it might take some time to work the kinks out of your work\/life balance, you\u2019re not clocking in to anyone but yourself. While you\u2019ll certainly have staff members who need your attention and you\u2019ll be focused on growing the business, entrepreneurship gives you a level of independence you just can\u2019t get with a 9-to-5 job. If you are already on your own and you\u2019re struggling with this balance, we can help<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re in Charge<\/strong>: Ever have a boss you hated? How about one who just couldn\u2019t steer the ship? When you\u2019re an entrepreneur, even if you have an amazing management team, you\u2019re still in charge. If there\u2019s a pandemic and you think the entire business needs to shift to meet new demands, you can do it. There\u2019s no standing around and hoping your leadership team makes the right decision. Of course being in charge sometimes is a double-edged sword, which is one reason why working with a coach can make a huge difference<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You Can Follow Your Passion<\/strong>: At The Growth Coach, we are always encouraging business owners to get back to their WHY. If you can focus on what led you to open your business in the first place, you can reset your priorities and find your north star. When you\u2019re an entrepreneur, that north star doesn\u2019t have to be something that just pays the bills. You can build a company that keeps you excited and helps you follow your own passion.<\/p>\n

You Can Build Wealth<\/strong>: It\u2019s OK to be in it for the money and for your passion to be living a life of luxury as long as you approach it right. Some of the most successful businesses were built because people had a need \u2013 not because of a true passion. Junk removal? Portable bathrooms? Shipping solutions? They aren\u2019t sexy jobs, but there\u2019s money to be made if you can do it right. No matter what industry you decide to enter, putting people and their needs first will make an impact.<\/p>\n

You Can Make a Difference<\/strong>: When you own your own business, you get to make the decisions on how you give back to your employees and to your community. While some businesses are built on the ideals of giving back \u2013 like giving a pair a socks for every pair sold \u2013 even just sponsoring a local youth sports team or buying an ad in a local theater program can make an impact. And when you\u2019re an entrepreneur, you get to decide when, where and how you\u2019re going to focus those efforts<\/p>\n

Being an entrepreneur can be a tough and lonely road, but it’s also a fantastic opportunity to build a rewarding career, control your future and make a difference in your community. Hats off to all the entrepreneurs during National Entrepreneurship Week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
