10 Steps to a Business of your own

Coming off of a global pandemic that has lasted three years and shuttered thousands of businesses worldwide, it may surprise you to know that more than 5 million brand-new businesses, an average of 14,000 per day, were created across the U.S. in 2022. Even in the midst of a worldwide pandemic, the desire to be your own boss remains alive and well.

How does this happen exactly? Perhaps all those months of living with layoffs, higher prices and shortages for just about every commodity that ordinary households need, got people re-thinking the role that work plays in their everyday lives. And, as a result, they’ve found new purpose and a need for greater work-life balance. The idea of working for themselves instead of an employer has more appeal than ever before.
