Since I was a kid, we were taught by our parents to graduate college and look for a job. I didn't graduate, but I have a couple of jobs, and both of them did not work for me. To tell you honestly, I am not good dealing with bosses, because I don't like the idea of being pushed around, getting yelled at, and getting blamed on just about anything.Since quitting a job, I have decided to become an entrepreneur, then joined direct selling. After learning the ethics of an entrepreneur, I finally enter online entrepreneurship.

The worst thing that could happen on an employee is getting fired. We all know it sucks to get fired. Most companies are looking for ways to cut down spending, so they axed some of their employee.
An entrepreneur sometimes losses its clients, visitors, but you can never loose your job. Because the success of your business is in your hands, no one else.
#9. You have no boss
Finally, no one will yell at you when you do something stupid. An entrepreneur has no boss but himself. If the entrepreneur has an employee's mentality, then don't expect to become rich.
A boss is a leader, a visionary, mentor, a friend, and a jerk who will do anything for success. Even you are the boss of your own, you still has responsibility to your clients, co-workers, and to your spouse.
#10. You can create jobs
Just recently I read an article that Harvard produces the most Billionaires in the world. Probably because their students doesn't look for jobs, they create jobs. Gates and Zuckerberg are just some of the Harvard University products, although they are dropped out students, they are still linked to that school.
#11. You determine your workings hours
Compared to regular jobs, they require strict time management. One of the things we don't like is the hassle of going to work, the traffic, etc. An entrepreneur can go to work when he wants to. But this is not a lazy job. Successful entrepreneurs works 10-12 hours a day for almost 2 years without pay. Even you control your time, it doesn't mean you should slack a lot.
#12. Learn something new everyday.
In regular jobs, learning new everyday is not a requirement. As long as you have the skill to do your work, you are good. But in entrepreneurship, learning everyday is a must.
You need to be updated with the latest technology, business strategies and a lot more. Learning helps your brain function a lot more sharper.
#13. It helps build your own network
Working in the office will not help you expand your network. In entrepreneurship, it is necessary to interact with different people, and potential customers to expand your business. Through connecting with other people, you learn to communicate and sales talk.
#14. The Internet is a growing market
Internet users has been growing rapidly for the fast 10 years. A lot of people are now doing business online, whether its shopping or banking, the Internet is a huge marketplace for online entrepreneurs.
Riding the wave of the Internet boom is great for online entrepreneurs, because it keeps on growing. As more and more people gets access to the Internet, the more potentials for Internet Marketers.
