You've probably heard about the potential downsides, we list a few below:

That's a lot of work.

- Laws and rules one must know.

- A bunch of papers to keep track of.

- Low salary.

- Uncertain income.

- No work buddies.

- A grumpy partner because one is away a lot.

- Authorities that demand.

- Taxes that must be paid.

- If you hire, it's hard to find “good” people.

- You have to do “everything” yourself.

- No vacation for years.

‍

There are lots of downsides to fear and that's a good thing. It separates the chaff from the wheat, therefore not everyone becomes their own entrepreneur. One needs to be more stubborn and driven than others simply. It's also the best thing you have when the doubt comes, because it does, for everyone. But why should you subject yourself to this? Well, because you don't want to die without trying, without taking the plunge, without daring!!

‍

In addition, if you succeed in your business, there are unlimited potential benefits for you, below we have some:

- It gives you the satisfaction of working with what you believe in.

- You will develop a lot and learn a lot.

- You will have so much fun!

- You can earn more than your salary, you can even take dividends on the profits.

- You control your own times and when you take vacations.

- Your partner will be happy, because you are happy.

- You will have better self-confidence because you dared!

- You gain control over your career and future.

- You are your own boss.

- You choose who to work with because it is you who hires.

- You get to develop your dream.

- You can hire others to take care of what you do not master or want to do.

A bunch of benefits and you can certainly come up with more. To get started, write them down and what you want to do. Write down your thoughts about what it looks like in a year, what dangers exist, what competitors and what opportunities. Write down how much you think you can sell for and what costs you will incur. Your words and thoughts. No more one like that. And can you imagine, well, you have a business plan. Harder than that, it doesn't have to be.

Read what you wrote aloud to yourself, repeat it for a month. Taste what you say, fantasize about what it looks like. What's the feeling like? Talk to your loved ones. This process is important. I'm guessing you didn't get married or move in with anyone already after a night on the town. You may have thought and felt for a while before you did. Sometimes it doesn't last, sometimes it does. But you dared anyway. The same goes for running businesses.

This preliminary work peels off a lot of worry and reduces the margin of error once you get started. Now you are on the threshold of your own business. Who wants to live half, when you can live fully? Dare!! Dare with a big and humble heart, the journey will be more rewarding then.
