We live in the Trump era. And whether you like him or not, business and economic opportunity has never been higher. With a significant reduction in regulatory laws, coupled with tax incentives, now is the time to consider owning your own business. You can do your own Google search for “benefits of owning your own business” and you will find hundreds of articles. I've summarize the list of benefits below. And after you read the list, I'm going to give you my take on which one I believe is the most important. Here's the list of benefits from multiple sources (and in no particular order):

Some of these benefits overlap. And I'll leave it up to you to determine which of them has the greatest appeal to you. For me it was personal fulfillment. I wanted to start using my passion for helping people improve their health. But also use one of my skills, which is to effectively communicate with people. And the area I hit upon was Nitric Oxide Therapy to naturally improve blood flow to address a wide range of cardiovascular concerns.
This gave me the opportunity to differentiate myself from the competition in this arena. I first started by learning the information on Nitric Oxide Therapy. How this Nobel Prize winning information can help those with high blood pressure, diabetic complications, erectile dysfunction, poor wound healing, and even athletic performance.
I then took courses on how to brand and market myself through Social Media and other means. And once I had enough knowledge (remember you will never have all the knowledge you need) I implemented my marketing strategy. A marketing strategy of educating my client base on how Nitric Oxide Therapy is a valid and natural way to address most of their cardiovascular concerns. I aligned myself with the best product in the industry to help create nitric oxide so that as I attracted people to my message, I also had a means to create an income stream through traditional sales.
Now I have thousands of clients who provide me with an income greater than when I worked for others. But most importantly I've learned how to take an area of passion and market it to those who need it to help them improve their lives. And if you read the narrative of my journey you will see how it has given me the other listed benefits of owning your own business.

So, my suggestion to you is focus on your passion. Then examine the market to see if people can benefit from your passion. If there is a market, then learn some key tools to market yourself and your services to those who need it.
And through hard work and persistence you will begin to build a viable business that will be rewarding on multiple levels.
And I hope your journey will be as fun as mine continues to be.
