The Best Part of Owning Your Own Business

Tips for baby boomers on the best part of owning your own business

What is your passion? That is the best part of owning your own business

When you are truly passionate about doing something, it is no longer work. It becomes a unique challenge that is exciting, interesting and fun for you! Taking something that you love to do and turning it into an actual business, can be a fantastic experience for you. Every person should have a chance to do something like this, in his or her lifetime.

How do you know what you are passionate about?

Answer some of these questions honestly and you may have found the answer.

What is there, in all of the things you do that really brightens up your day?

What do you never get tired of doing, no matter how much effort or energy, you have to put into doing it?

What is the first thing that you think about when you get up in the morning and the last thing that you think about at night?

What do you really love to talk to your friends about?

What makes you smile the most?

What makes you the happiest?

What is the one thing that you would give up almost anything to be able to do, full time, instead of working at another job?

What do dream about doing when you retire? (You may not have to wait until retirement to do it! You may be able to start doing it immediately.)

What are you secretly setting aside money for?

Is this something that you might be able to do now, as an independent business owner?

Is there some way that you can turn what you love to do the most in your life, into your full time job? Can you do it in such a way that the business is one that you own and operate independently?

If you can pinpoint something like this in your life and figure out how to turn it into a business, you may have just found your passion or the best part of owning your own business.

There is a great deal of personal satisfaction in being able to do something that you love doing. Part of the reason for this is the sense of accomplishment that you feel when you succeed in your own personal challenge.

For many people, a job is a means to an end. That end is often what a person is the most passionate about. Your current employment may not be something that excites you or even challenges you. Your passion is exactly that.

There are other perks that you will find along the way. Add these to what you are the most passionate about.

You are your own boss.
No one else will be telling you what to do, when, or where to do it.
You can make your own schedule and set your own hours.
You can take time off when you want to do so.
You choose what to do with your money.
You no longer have to punch a time clock.
You can pay yourself whatever you think you are worth.
You have added benefits because you are your own boss.
You are the one that takes home the profits. 
You have the full responsibility.

Remember that you are the one who is going to promote your business, in a better and more realistic way than anyone else can. You will be able to make your own decisions and you will not have to question the integrity of others.

No one ever said that owning your own business was going to be easy, but it becomes easier when you find yourself reaching your own goals and fulfilling your passion in life. Think about it and look into it seriously. You will be glad that you did.

Follow your dream, but dream big first!
