Starting your own small business venture can be terrifying and daunting, especially for those who have never done anything like it before. With pressure to be productive and turn a profit it's understandable if you feel like baulking and turning your back on the idea. However, there are a number of great reasons to consider pursuing your own small business venture.
Fulfilling your dreams is the name of the game and nothing can make you feel better and more accomplished than successfully getting a start-up company off the ground and into the public sphere. Here are some of the benefits you have to look forward to as the owner of a small business in New Zealand.
You get to run the show
For starters, you'll be the one in charge. All those times you felt like you would be better at the job than your boss can finally be validated - you have the opportunity to run things your way. Everything from hiring staff and choosing what small business software you implement, right through to organisational decisions are in your control.
Valuable CV experience
Being able to say you've run your own business is a glowing reference on your CV, especially if you have a good run at it. Because starting and running a business is far from easy, it shows you have the confidence and skills needed to handle pressure and get the job done.
If for some reason you decide to shut your business down or pass the reigns over and re-enter the workforce, this experience will be invaluable to your future endeavours. With the wide range of skills needed to run a business, you'll be putting yourself forward as a prime candidate for any job you apply for.
