Why did you start up in business?

[taiarain]

Because I'm the best boss in the world! 

For a lot of reasons. I've always wanted my own business, I prefer to run my own life, I'd like to realize all the benefits and drawbacks of my work.

I was working as a Social Worker, which I loved. I was in a car accident and my car was totalled. The amount I got from insurance covered the payoff of the car and not much more. My job required I drive clients in my own car, registered and insured to me. I had to leave becasue I coudln't get a new car. I started looking for work online. I found a few thigns and currently work parttime for a company that lets me work from home and I just started two new businesses from home. I discovered I am happier working for myself.

right now i'm just helping out my sister with her online business but i don't have my own business YET.  i plan to put up one next year and the reason for this is the fact that i do want to have passive income. it's better to have more than enough money so that whatever inevitable circumstances may come--good or bad--i would be prepared.  with a passive income from business i can spend more time for myself and with my family and friends.  what could be better than earning while enjoying?
