Independence Day, Freedom and Entrepreneurship
July 4th marked the 246th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. A document and message that set our nation on a new course. While we take today as a holiday to celebrate our nations freedom, now is an exciting time to think about how entrepreneurship can be a path to your personal freedom.
The concept and benefits of freedom can be various depending on the context of the conversation. One freedom that is certainly something to celebrate is the freedom of entrepreneurship and the opportunities it can provide for you and your family.
Freedom to do something that you love: Often entrepreneurs can find a way to take their personal passion and joy and turn it into a venture that can support them and their loved ones. Finding that opportunity that you love can give you the inspiration to make the leap towards entrepreneurship.
Freedom of time: One of the great benefits of being your own boss is the ability to make your own schedule. Don’t get me wrong, entrepreneurship takes a lot of time and challenging work, but the flexibility you gain with your daily schedule is a type of freedom not to take for granted.
Freedom that comes with resources: Building a lucrative career whether its your main job or even a side hustle can give you a newfound freedom with financial resources that you don’t currently have. Exploring opportunities to gain experience your financial stability leads to a new level of freedom for your life.
