Why are you online enterpreneur/small business owner?

Being in business is not for everyone and lots of people prefer "9-5" working for someone else. Why do you do business? Here are some typical answers that I've heard for the past 4 years

a) I can make much more money by my own

b) I couldn't find a job and started my business

c) I have kids and want to have more time with them

d) I want to have more time to spend with my family


What is your good reason? You can simply say a) or c, b, - whatever! Or add your reason to the list!

 

how about the feeling of accomplishment

 

Good! It's gonna be e)

 

I got tired of working for someone else

 

I only have one reason that my hobby and it's addicted when day by day my paypal show how fast the numbers showing increase.. oops Notification of Payment Received again..lalalala..

About 6 month ago is nothing there now change with following how addicted I looking for this sign $$$

 

Because it makes money! A lot of the jobs I could get offline, I really don't want, as I don't fancy waking up at 6:30 in the morning, so this just seems the perfect solution for making a bit of money in my free time..

 

I can't work for anyone and also because I can make more money on my own... 9-5 is slave labor!

 

Yeah very true. Just the thought of 9-5 sickens me. Work work work...and make profit for others...pfft.

 

I have a problem with being told what to do, and when to do it. Building my own business(es) puts me in control, and I can do things exactly how (and when) I want.

Plus, as mentioned above, working long hours just to make someone else rich isn't very satisfying.

 

here is our updated list

a) I can make much more money by my own

b) I couldn't find a job and started my business

c) I have kids and want to have more time with them

d) I want to have more time to spend with my family

e) feeling of accomplishment

f) have a problem with being told what to do

 

It's f) for me. I'd rather make my own mistakes and work for myself.

 

I haven't been able to keep a 9-5 job for more than a year because I usually end up not liking the way the company is being run. So I started my own business, made money, sold it for lots of money.
Now I work when I want to. From where I want to. Right now I am on vacation but my businesses just need a few hours a week to keep making me money!

 

yep, it is very important to achieve results and get paid for that and I believe once you are successful by you own, you'll never bee able to work for someone from 9 to 5... I've started a company and made it profitable and optimized for a very short period of time, then got an offer and sold it...After that I knew that I am not gonna be under anyone

 

I'm in it to make money

 

All of the above, online business are hard work at first, but they pay off a lot at the end.

 

More money. Simple as that.

 

I just like cash. Whenever I get a check, I feel great about myself, like I did something worthwhile.

 

yeah, cash is a good reason

 

I am very poor at studies, so I start a business.
