When you think about owning your own business, what benefits do you think about that cause you to want to be a business owner? Starting and owning a business is hard work. However, there are also a number of benefits and rewards. What do you think about when you think about having your own business?
For me the greatest benefit and what continued to pull me in the direction of starting my own business was flexibility. I wanted to be able to determine when I would work so I could fit other things into my life. I wanted the freedom to work really hard Mon - Thursday and then leave early on Friday to head up to the cabin and beat the traffic heading to northern MN for the weekend.
What is the benefit or reward that is worth the most to you?

I absolutely love having a home office. I enjoyed having a home office before the gas prices began going through the roof! However, I love it even more now that I do not have to spend the money on gas to get to work. I also enjoy my commute to work which is down the hall. In the past, I would struggle to keep myself calm in rush hour traffic which seemed like such a waste of time.
My home office is now my sanctuary. I enjoy being able to set the lighting just the way I want it. I don’t have to worry about a “No Fragrance” policy when I want to add essential oils to the air. Playing classical music in the background is so soothing for me. Most of all, I enjoy setting my own working hours. The flexibility to set and control my working hours was the driving force for me in staring my own business over 10 years ago.
What would you most like to change about your current working situation? Could you change this is you had your own business and a home office?
