 and they meet at the bar.” ~Drew Carey

Nobody should have to choose between work and family


But, most employees struggle with this often.

This is heartbreaking

Most Women Have Limited Career Advancement Opportunities In the Traditional Corporate Culture

Lack of ambition is not what’s holding back women from moving ahead in the corporate world. It’s the high cost of ambition.

For most women, the price is too high to pay for corporate advancement.

Here’s what’s holding women back from moving ahead in their careers


Most women feel enormous pressure to sacrifice marriage and children in order to become successful in traditional careers.

Women working in the corporate world are often judged harshly if they’re perceived as not very willing to put their jobs ahead of their families. The common assumption is that they’re not good team players or they’re not ambitious enough.

So, they end up not being considered for top leadership positions and other promotions.

Most Employees Don’t Feel Fulfilled In Their 9-to-5 Jobs and They Feel Trapped

Millions of people all over the world are desperate to have greater job satisfaction. They want their work to be more than a way to earn a living. They want their work to feed their heart and soul.

Work can add to your life or subtract from it. You’re not just trading your time for the money you get from work, but you’re also trading your physical, emotional and spiritual energy.

For some people, working can involve daily stressors as well as daily humiliations
 search for recognition as well as search for meaning.

Working in a job you hate is an assault to your spirit as well as your body. It can suck the life out of you. It can deplete your soul. It can lead to a 9-to-5 sort-of-dying… instead of contributing to a richer, more meaningful life.

What’s even worse?

Having a job is no longer as secure as it used to be


Building financial independence for yourself and your loved ones is one of the best ways to have a secure future. By building a successful business, you can empower yourself to take charge of your own financial security.

Millions of Independent Workers Are Making a Living Without a Traditional Job

  • 2 out of 3 full-time independent workers believe they are more secure than traditional workers

Here are the new findings from their 2021 study of the independent workforce: “ThĐ” StĐ°tĐ” ĐŸf Independence In America” report from MBO PĐ°rtnĐ”rѕ

  • In 2021, there were 51.1 million adult Americans working independently.
  • They’re happy and satisfied: 7 in 10 independent workers will continue on their path. And 86% of high-earning independents will do so.
  • In 2020, independent workers generated $1.21 trillion in revenue to the U.S. economy (5.7% of the U.S. GDP).

Their skills are in demand globally. So, more independent workers are offering their services outside the United States.

Building a Successful Business and Creating Work You Love

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.”  ~Steve Jobs

Growing a profitable business is not easy, but the payoff can be huge


No matter how hard you work as an employee, the financial benefits are limited to your predetermined salary and bonuses.

As a successful entrepreneur, you can earn a lot more if you have a profitable business idea and you execute a great marketing plan.

In addition to financial rewards, there are psychological benefits of becoming an entrepreneur and building a successful business.

You can have the freedom to create work that you love. You can focus on building a business that reflects your authentic self, choices and longings. So, you can have more work satisfaction.

Compared to having a traditional jĐŸb, Đ”ntrДрrĐ”nĐ”urѕhір саn ĐŸffĐ”r more flexible work hours and better work-life balance.

This flexibility can lead to more free time and better quality of time available to spend with loved ones. In turn, this can lead to greater happiness and life satisfaction.

If You Understand Your Motivation for Building a Successful Business, That Can Help You Deal With Many Challenges

It’s important to understand the reason(s) why you want to build a successful business.

There will be many challenges that you have to face in your entrepreneurial journey. Your business motivation will be the driving force that can help you persist, persevere and succeed.

What are your reasons for wanting to build a successful business?

  • Do you want to support your family and work at home or any location?
  • Do you want to boost your income in order to have an earlier and more secure retirement?
  • Do you want to be able to afford your kids’ college education and provide a better future for them?
  • Do you want to be able to afford a better home and move your family to a safer neighborhood?
  • Do you need to work online to have more flexibility to take care of your aging parents or sick loved ones?
  • Do you want to make more money to decrease your financial stress and build your wealth?

Most people are driven by love or money as their motivation for building a successful business…

Love is usually a more powerful motivator than money for entrepreneurs.

If you’re trying to become a successful entrepreneur because of love: if you want a better future for your loved ones
 if you want more time with your family
 if you want to have more time and money to care for loved ones with failing health and abilities
 then you will be super-motivated during difficult times.

Building a Successful Business Is More Than About Money: It’s About Having the Freedom and Flexibility to Live Life On Your Terms

“Success is doing what you want to do
 when you want
 where you want
 with whom you want
 as much as you want.” ~Anthony Robbins

No matter what you choose to do with your life — whether you work as an employee or entrepreneur — you’re paying for it with your very own life.

Your life is way too precious to waste doing something that’s meaningless and leaves you empty inside.

Building a meaningful and successful business isn’t easy, but the payoff can be huge


Imagine what it would be like to have a highly profitable, meaningful and fulfilling business that gives you the freedom, flexibility and time to live the life you’ve always dreamed of


You can have more freedom and flexibility on how you spend your time. So, you can live your life on your terms. This means that you can have more time for loved ones and leisure.

Even if self-employment doesn’t make you a fortune, it can bring enough financial abundance to achieve contentment as well as freedom from financial stress and worry.

The psychological freedom you can get by building a successful business coupled with financial benefits can help you live a happier, healthier and richer, more satisfying life.
