ACADEMY: 4 benefits of being your own boss

So, you’ve decided to take the plunge into working for yourself – that’s great! While it’s amazing to take that first step, the road to solo working can be fraught with a little bit of worry and self-doubt. Sometimes, it can be enough to put someone off working for themselves altogether! 

There’s so much fulfillment to be found from working for yourself, though – and we’ve pulled together the top benefits to remind you why you’re doing what you’re doing. To be clear – these aren’t the ONLY benefits, there’s hundreds. But this should be enough to get you started.

Greater Control

Sick of the 9-5? Working for yourself and being your own boss means that you are in complete control of the hours you work and when you work them. No one to tell you when and where you should be and if you don’t want to do something you can just…not! 

Flexible Work Hours

As mentioned about the 9-5 – you can kiss that goodbye. You now have the power to choose your own hours, whether you like a lie-in and enjoy working into the evenings, or whether you like to get things done first thing, so that you’ve got the afternoon and evenings to spend with your family or on yourself. The world’s your oyster. 

Open-Ended Career Progression

Who’s to say whether you’ve been promoted or not? Promote yourself! There’s absolutely no limit to what you can achieve when you’re working for yourself and money and career progression are just two of the things you can keep building and building on.

Greater Sense of Satisfaction

How incredible to build something from the ground up that YOU created? When you’re at the top, you can look back at where you started – working for yourself can bring a much better sense of satisfaction than working for someone else.
