1. - I wanted to be my own boss. I have my own rules, I can set my own hours. There's no punching a clock or calling H.R. because my paycheck is short! 2. - I'm following my dreams of being an entrepreneur. 2. - Job security - I'm not going to fire myself! As long as my business is doing good, I'm doing good.

Control of my own destiny!  I am still in the start up phases but if I run my businesses correctly then I will never have to fire myself!

Like the other ladies said, taking on the responsibility of being your own boss. It was a risk worth taking in my opinion. Being able to grow a business from the ground has been so rewarding. I'm also inspired by other bosses.

I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit and I wanted to finally seize that passion in me. I have worked for a marketing firm for the past 6 years and my boss was and remains such a huge mentor in my life. He showed me how to be a BOSS, just by being a great one himself. And hence my firm...BOSS BRANDS was born. Good luck to all my fellow Boss Chicks!

There are so many reasons to want to run your own business. For me, I have always worked and had some type of side job of my own for as long as I can remember. But after working in the social service field for several years and getting no satisfaction, being used and abused by company shenanigans, I decided it was time to let it all go and answer only to myself! I now have two businesses, one ongoing and one seasonal. The rewards of working for myself and employing others is one of the best feelings in the world. I set my own hours, have time for me, and have the freedom to enjoy my life in the way I see fit. Now I pretty much work when I WANT TO Everyday I am able to thank God for giving me the insight, courage and determination to follow my own dreams.

I decided to start my own business because I want to be the architect of my future, not my supervisor or his supervisor.  I want to break out of the boundaries that exist when you work for someone else.  Also I want to set a good example for my daughter.

I decided to become my own boss when I found out I had something, or someONE, rather, to live for! God blessed me with a baby girl, and I have to make ends meet for her! On top of that, there's nothing like living and basking in your own success. To look at all your work and say "Wow! I did that!" is the BEST feeling in the world!
