Get A Life: A Lifestyle Entrepreneur Motto
What’s Your Motivation?
Most of us who decide to start a home business, do so for a variety of reasons. For some it’s freedom from a constraining 9 to 5 job, for others it’s a means of creating an extra stream of income and for many it’s the chance to attain an entirely new level of lifestyle and personal achievement. Now, although no two entrepreneurs will have the exact same goals or dreams; there are definitely distinct categories or breeds of entrepreneurs.
A New Breed of Entrepreneur?
One of the newest breeds to emerge onto the online business industry scene is the Lifestyle Entrepreneur. This type of self-starter has a slightly different personality from that of a traditional big business owner who looks to create a huge empire with large offices and thousands of employees. For most lifestyle entrepreneurs like myself, the greatest incentive to go it alone is not the money– it’s the promise of personal freedom, a better lifestyle and the chance to make a living doing the kind of work we truly want to do.
With the current turbulent job market and the sensitive state of the economy, now more than ever, many of today’s internet based businesses are being started by ambitious, entrepreneurial-minded individuals who aren’t motivated to amass a huge fortune, but instead are inspired to take control of their financial future and leave the rat race far behind.
A Way of Life?
Although income is important, quality of life is the main motivator for most lifestyle entrepreneurs. Some seek the freedom to travel and create businesses that are optimized to be manageable from anywhere in the world. Some seek to reduce their work day and create businesses built on automation and outsourcing. Some are merely inspired by their passions and create businesses that are woven into their lifestyle, not separate from it. And for some it’s a combination of all three.
So although we all can agree with Zig Ziglar’s sentiments,
but it’s reasonably close to oxygen on the gotta have it scale.”
As a Lifestyle Entrepreneur the motivation is simple: To Get A Life!
