1. More Money
Having more money is one big reason that many people start businesses. Although, money isn’t everything, and therefore isn’t usually the main reason, a lot of successful businesses, with a lot of hard work put in, could earn you lots of money.

2. Independence
I think this should even come first. Another reason why people usually start a business is independence. Nobody enjoys having a boss who determines a part of their life and time, and who they’ll have to wait on periodically for salaries.
We all want to be the ones calling the shots in our lives, and this is where entrepreneurship comes in. Every entrepreneur is independent and in most cases even has people that are dependent on him, if he has employees. Freedom breeds independence, and consequently self-reliance.
3. Doing something you care about
Most of the jobs we do are in no relation to what we actually have passion for. We just do it because of the paycheck or so we are not just sitting doing nothing. But what entrepreneurship does is this, it gives you the expression to do something you really care about and have passion for.
Entrepreneurs are not born, they are made. They learn how to become businesspeople. You can be one, even starting small with any of these small businesses to start with 20K in Nigeria.
As a startup, I must tell you, every business seems hard and unscalable, but sheer dedication, perseverance, and hard work can turn around results.
Now you have seen some reasons to start that business, take the risk, it could change your life. You may also be interested in these 3 sure ways to make money on Facebook.
