If you have considered becoming self-employed but have yet to do so you are not alone. Many people dream of self-employment but do not take the leap-of-faith required due to a fear of failure. However, there are many benefits one can gain from being self-employed. If you are debating becoming self-employed, here are just a few of the reasons you should do so in the new year.

No Co-worker Drama

When you work for someone else, you often do not get to pick who is on your team with you. Oftentimes, this can mean working with unpleasant people and dealing with constant co-worker drama. However, when you go into business for yourself you get to choose who you work with, or you can choose to work alone if you have dreamed of solitude at work; the choice is yours.

Choose Your Own Customers

Similarly, when you own your own business you get to decide what customers you work with. This means that once you have established a reputation from your business and are in demand, you will be able to only choose clients who you believe you will work well with, rather than whoever is assigned to you.

Be Your Own Boss

Perhaps the best part of being self-employed is the ability to be your own boss. Rather than having to answer to someone else and constantly listen to orders, you will get to make decisions for yourself on a day-to-day basis. This means controlling when, and how, you work, and deciding when you want to take a vacation. You will have the flexibility you always dreamed of.
