3 advantages of being an entrepreneur

Being an entrepreneur can be difficult, but it has many advantages. If you've always wanted to be your own boss, we've listed the 3 best benefits of being an entrepreneur here.

1. You're in control
The best of the many benefits of being an entrepreneur is that you are in control of yourself. You decide what happens and when. How you do things, how you spend your time and where you work. Instead of working 9-5, you have more independence and freedom. So when you're an entrepreneur, you have the say and the power to do things the way you want.

2. You can do what you love
If you decide to become an entrepreneur, you can finally do what you love – all day long. After all, you won't start a restaurant if you don't like cooking, or a bookstore if you don't like reading. When you do what you love it will never feel like work (that may sound cliché) but it is very true.

3. Freedom
You can follow and realize your dreams, seek opportunities that match who you are, what you want to be and how and where you want to live. Entrepreneurship is your path to freedom.
