Introduction •
There are many different reasons that entrepreneurs become entrepreneurs. Some people know from a very early age that they want to work for themselves, others work for a boss for a while only to discover that they would rather run their own business. One thing that entrepreneurs and small business owners agree on is that being an entrepreneur is great. There are lots of benefits to being an entrepreneur, more than the ones mentioned below, and these benefits are obviously quite personal and dependent on any one persons own set of circumstances, but here is a list of just some of the wonderful advantages of entrepreneurship.

A Flexible Schedule •
Though entrepreneurship can often require long hours, the benefit of building a business is that you are in charge of deciding when you want to work. Instead of the monotonous 9-5 set-up, you’re able to have more independence and freedom. It’s not that you are doing less work, but rather that you’re able to choose when you want to work in order to accommodate other activities in your life.
Your Workplace can VarY •
Don’t expect to always be working from inside an office while working for or creating your own start-up. Entrepreneurs and other start-up founders often work from home or while traveling, instead of within an office. The ability to opt out of working constantly in an office is a great way to be able to experience a change in scenery and break up the monotony of always working in the same space.
Excitement •
Part of what makes entrepreneurship so alluring is that it’s both dynamic and exciting. The company is growing and adapting constantly, keeping everyone on their toes.
Entrepreneurship is More Than Financial Gains •
We tend to associate entrepreneurship with direct financial benefits and risk, but not only when the entrepreneur has equity in the company, he or she is exposed to the financial upsides and downturns. Corporate ventures and corporate entrepreneurship allows “corporate entrepreneurs” to benefit of the upsides of their projects without having equity stakes.
An Entrepreneur is the Driver •
The entrepreneur is the person in charge, the leader and the person to look to for leadership. He or she is the one that pushes forward and inspires a team to follow. The entrepreneur is the one that sits in the driver’s seat, and has the ability to change direction, accelerate, slow down or even stop a venture.
