Why should I start a business?
Did you know that  nearly 50,000 new businesses are started every month, which equates to almost 600,000 new businesses per year! While many grow into successful, thriving businesses, many will fail due to lack of planning, knowledge and guidance. Many people say it’s tough to start a business these days, and they may be right, but in my opinion, it’s even tougher to be an employee. At least as a entrepreneur, you control your own destiny! Many people starting their own business may not care about being a millionaire or even care about being “rich”, but care more about earning a comfortable living and controlling their own destiny.
