The document discusses several advantages of being an entrepreneur over having a 9-5 job. It notes that as an entrepreneur, you have more flexibility and freedom in deciding your work schedule, location, who you work with, how much you can earn, and the ability to automate your income. You also have more freedom of speech and ability to pursue multiple business ventures and income streams at once. Overall, the document argues that being an entrepreneur allows you to live and work on your own terms without the restrictions of having a traditional employer and boss.

2. If you’re not doing the things that you love, then your life is not
worth living. What are you here for?” – King Sidharth
“Every single person I know who is successful at what they do is
successful because they love doing it.” – Joe Penna
“Starting your own business is like riding a roller coaster. There are
highs and lows and every turn you take is another twist. The lows
are really low, but the highs can be really high. You have to be
strong, keep your stomach tight, and ride along with the roller
coaster that you started.” – Lindsay Manseau

3. Nothing can be more frustrating than taking orders from the same
person all the time. Even if taking orders is okay, what happens if
your life depends on taking orders? Failure to obey your boss can
kick you out of your job.
Being an entrepreneur puts and end to this and you don’t have to
answer or take orders from any boss anymore, you live your life as
it pleases you, you do things as you want.
We all have various ways of doing things and what works for me
might not work for you, if you are working under a boss your boss
can make you do things against your will if he believe that is what
works best but as an entrepreneur you don’t have to face all this,
you do as it pleases you.

4. Having a 9-5 job can be very stressful, you have to leave
for work 9am every morning and you have no choice
until 5pm in the evening, being an entrepreneur helps
you overcome this and you can decide if you want to be
working from 2pm in the noon till 6pm in the evening, it
depends on you.
Depending on how and where your business operates,
you can even work at night and sleep at day as an
entrepreneur, you can decide to live a different way of
life – and this is what a 9-5 job will never provide.

5. As far as working under someone is concerned, there is a limit to
what you can be. You can never exceed your boss. Being an
entrepreneur helps you overcome this limitation and whether
you want to be a CEO or a sales representative, it is yours to
decide.
Another thing about working a 9-5 job is that it doesn’t matter how
great your idea is and how it can help improve the company you
are working for it is up to your CEO to decide, if you offer the
advice and it is rejected there is nothing you can do and the
company will remain in a low state which will also affect you
but being an entrepreneur helps you overcome this. Since you
are in charge of your business you will be the one executing
ideas and you can determine if you want your company to only
have a branch in the streets or be a fortune 100 company.

6. Have you ever thought about working where you want?
This might still be strange to you if you work a 9-5 job
but one great advantage of being an entrepreneur is
that you are able to determine your location. As an
entrepreneur you can determine if you want to work
in Africa or America but when working 9-5 you have
no choice than to work in the constraint of your office.
As an entrepreneur you can also decide if you want to
be changing your location every month but a 9-5 job
won’t afford you that, the final location can only be
determined by your boss.

7. Being an entrepreneur also affords you the ability to
vacate when you want which a 9-5 job can’t afford.
You can easily decide if you want to be at home every
Thursday and Friday of the week but a 9-5 job will
never afford you that.
Trying to take 3 days leave from your work in one
month can even be a problem, let alone doing that
every month – as an entrepreneur, that is no problem
and you can even decide to take a 10 days off from
your business, it all depends on you.

8. As an entrepreneur your business is yours and you can
determine if you want to work with friends and
relatives or any other person, this a 9-5 job can never
afford. If you are working a 9-5 job, it doesn’t matter if
your greatest enemy is your colleague, you just have
to work together.
Choosing whom we work with is sometimes very
important for the growth of a business because you
can decide to work with other like-minded people
who also have an entrepreneurial spirit and are ready
to help you grow, there is just no restriction to whom
you can work with.

9. There is a limit to what you can earn while working
your 9-5 job, it doesn’t matter if your company
doubled its income that month you will still be
paid the same amount you are supposed to be
paid but as an entrepreneur, since you own your
business there is no limit to what you can earn, all
you need to do is be very creative and look for
various ways to improve your income.

10. If I ask you if you have freedom of speech I am sure you
will come up with a resounding YES! If you are
working a 9-5 job I can assure you this is not true, you
have no freedom of speech!
When working a 9-5 job you can’t just talk to your boss
anyhow because talking to your boss anyhow can lead
to you being fired (Go call your boss a jerk if you don’t
believe this!) but as an entrepreneur it doesn’t matter
if you are talking to the CEO of one big company or a
12-year-old boy you still have right to the same words,
you are simply not afraid of anybody.

11. Another great advantage of being an entrepreneur is the
ability to automate your income. You can easily employ
people to help you manage your business while you tour
the world but this isn’t possible in your usual 9-5 job,
trying to do is you signing your sack letter.
Also, as an entrepreneur your income is not affected by how
you work, you can determine if you want to be paid
whether you work or not, you can also determine of you
want to create your automatic income machine but this is
not possible in your regular day job, you have to follow the
working guidelines put together by your boss, failure to do
this might result in something else.

12. You can decide to spread yourself into as many businesses as you
want when working as an entrepreneur but your 9-5 job won’t
allow this, you have to be in the office every time, and not only
in the office but also doing the things of the office.
One great advantage entrepreneurs have is that they can create
passive income streams and also improve their knowledge in so
many ways. You can decide to have a big company under your
belt while at the same time doing some other business, you are
not restricted by anything.
Another disadvantage of working a 9-5 job is that you don’t know
much about subjects other than the area you work but
entrepreneurs deal with as many businesses as they can and
gaining more business knowledge isn’t a problem.

13. Being an entrepreneur beats working the 9-5, you
don’t have to sit in one office trying to please
another man and you are not restricted to one
location, you can work where you want. You also
have your freedom of speech and you can say
whatever comes to your mouth. In fact, as an
entrepreneur you can go on doing crazy things.
