Entrepreneurship or Self Employment is basically owning your own business and being your own boss. A recent international study showed that most people preferred being self-employed, though only a small percentage actually is. The reason for this is because many view it as being too risky. But there are also others who think that business ownership has more advantages than disadvantages.

• You are your own boss. 
• Your potential to grow in your business expands.
• Your earning power increases.
• All your effort and long hours benefit you directly instead of someone else.
• You can have an exciting, challenging and fulfilling experience running a business.

There are no guarantees in business but with good planning, preparation and insight, you can increase your chances of success.
