May 23, 2021

Starting your own business is an achievement in itself. It most rewarding and challenging thing you can do. Sometimes it's fun to own a business, and other times its energy draining. 

Before putting your leg into a business world, it's important to ask yourself, " Are you ready to build it from scratch and seeing it grow?" If you said "yes," then starting your own business is worth it. 

Before getting into the business here, are some pros and cons listed below-

Cons:

You'll Work Harder.

If you are starting your business to quit 9 to 5 job, let's be clear that you will be working more than 9 to 5. There will be a feeling of the quilt when you don't work. 

The business is all about working hard without considering time limits to make it grow. The business needs to be always in your mind to make it better every day. It can drain you physically and emotionally. 

No One to Guide

At work, you have a boss to guide you throughout your career path. The boss guides you through difficulties and at the point of necessity. 

In business, you are your boss. You can set your work hours, when, and where to work. There is no guidebook to tell if you are doing right or wrong. You have to figure it out yourself. 

Starting days are trial and error- you keep learning and evolving by your own decision for the business. 

No Payments for While

You may need to have a financial plan to cope up with bills and expenditure at the start. You may not earn a penny for the few months or years and leverage money via investors' capital. 

If the business doesn't work out as per plan, you may get stuck with financial risk.

Failure Strike Badly

The failure in your own business can be overwhelming. It can mess your physical and mental health. The failure can lead you to a state of depression for an extended time.

The business didn't start giving profits immediately, but if you hung around, keep working towards your goals, and have some luck, you become wealthier than your dreams. 

Create Your Destiny

As a business owner, success and failure depend on your hard work. If you keep working hard towards achieving your goals, finding solutions for your problems, and learning from your mistakes, you have the potential to run a successful business. 

There is no one to stop you except yourself. Frequently working towards a goal ultimately leads you towards the path of success. 

Feeling of Success
