Running your own business or working the traditional way can be challenging with long working hours and the time you have to put into commuting. Some people spend up to 12-13 hours a day with full-time jobs and time commuting.
That is up to 50-60 hours a week! Just think about it! If you have approximately 16 hours a day when you are awake, you don't have much free time left when working in this way. Is it worth it for a paycheck every month? To work for someone else and give your time away!
Some of us would, in that case, have about 3-4 hours per day with family, hobbies or friends, and considering you have been working and travelling for quite many hours and been busy at work, you are probably pretty tired and ready for the coach when finally at home, and to make it up in the next morning, you probably go to sleep quite early!
Many people are under enormous pressure working the traditional way and often far from home. And not to mention, toddler parents who leave their children before work, early in the mornings and pick them up late after work! It is absolutely incredible that people can cope with this. No wonder so many people suffer from fatigue syndrome and depression and feel unfulfilled in life. It is completely inhumane.
I don't have small children anymore, but I did work long hours with my business and found myself in this situation with no time to live my life. I was stuck for many hours at work every day, and I also took the work with me home. And I couldn't enjoy the time when I did have a free moment.
Here are some benefits of having an online business.
Building an online business and earning your income online using automated systems has many benefits. It is a fraction as expensive as starting a franchise or traditional business and has significantly fewer risks. You only need a laptop, an internet connection, and basic computer knowledge, and you can start the business next to your ordinary job and private life.
Geographical and time freedom!
You don't have to go to any special place. Instead, you can work from your home, your local coffee shop, or other places you like.
It will give you several opportunities to choose when and where you like to work. You can actually go for some weeks of vacation and bring your work with you. It doesn't matter what time zone you are in. And as long as you have your laptop and are connected to the internet, you can do your job wherever you are.
Just think about it! You could actually sit on a beach on the other side of the world to run your business. And your business could actually run automatically when you sleep, thanks to the automated system.
Suppose you have a traditional business that you actually like but feel trapped by long hours. In that case, you can put your business online, use your experience and knowledge, and reach people globally! Just consider what value you could give to so many more. Did you know that almost 4.5 billion people are active internet users and only 0.8% earn an income online, imagine how many more you can reach comparing having a local business. And work less, earn more!
Savings you will do!
Do you commute every day to your working place? You wouldn't only save time, and you would also save some money from travelling. If you go by car, and you live in a big city or outside the city and spend hours commuting every day, imagine what it would be like not to have to sit in long queues every day.
If you are a toddler parent, you save daily hours to spend with your children. How nice wouldn't it be able to leave the kids to daycare or school and go back home and do some hours of work? Take the dog for a walk during lunch and in the afternoon, knowing you have plenty of time to pick up your children and spend time with them, do some cooking together, and help them with schoolwork or play and have the energy to be present with them instead of tired and grumpy.
How nice wouldn't that feel? No bad Conscious No stress, just feeling fulfilled and relaxed, happy parents, happy children.
Improve your health and well being
When working long hours every day, It's not a wonder people forget about their health care. People usually do not prioritize this when time is lacking because of high-stress office jobs, commuting, lack of time for children, and working day and night to run their local business.
Studies have shown that excessive stress and sedentary lead to obesity and heart disease. Furthermore, losing time you could use to prepare healthy food can result in a poor diet.
Working from home will give you enough time to take care of yourself. This will, in the long term, lead to reduced healthcare costs.
Today, we know that people with poor health have increased chances of suffering from chronic conditions (i.e. diabetes, cardiovascular disease, depression, joint problems that require joint replacements), to name a few. These will be huge costs that we all have to pay for ourselves through tax. Coming from your own pocket.
Opportunities beyond your belief
Running your own online business can bring you opportunities beyond your belief. It allows you to live and create your life on your own terms.
And you will be your own boss. Building your business around your passion will give much more value than working for someone else with something that doesn't interest you. It could also make it possible for you to have an impact on the lives of others.
You will grow when you create your own business by following your passions and interests. Think about it this way! If money was no object, what would you do? Where would you live? Where would you work from?
“If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die…” Warren Buffet
