Starting a new business in any field can seem like a daunting task. But great rewards await entrepreneurs that create successful small businesses — benefits you may miss out on if you remain a wage earner for the rest of your life. Only you can decide if you’re ready to quit your job and build a practice from the ground up. Owning your own business affords you independence, flexibility and personal fulfillment. Take what you’ve learned (good and bad) from your past work experiences and apply it to your new practice.
