Everywhere you look there is some or the other startup story that makes you finally take the plunge and go for it yourself.
If you have any thoughts about what you want to work with, and how you want to create something of your own, there is, of course, the initial hesitation that comes in mixed with the self-doubt and the many questions, all of which start with a ‘what if?’
There are no guarantees to anything for that matter, and the same is true for starting your own business. But you would never know what could actually go right and great for you unless you try it out yourself, right?
You Can Supervise It Entirely The Way You Want
This is another way of saying that yes, you will be in absolute charge of the business, and can supervise what is happening in every small aspect. Of course, there can be others who may give you their feedback, or those you might want to consult. But in most of the cases, the end decisions still are for you to take.
You Can Create A Distinct Brand Voice
Mugdha is the co-founder of Thrive, which is a healthcare venture that helps you understand more about what you are eating and how it will affect your body. According to her, the good thing about having your own brand is that you can create a distinct brand voice and create a vision for the brand that aligns with your personal values.
Can Add That Personal Touch For Enhanced Customer Experience
No matter what type of a business you are running, unless you are constantly thinking of how it will affect and impact your customers, you can lose out in the long run. This is where adding a personal touch can make sense. Mugdha feels that when you have your own business, you can engage more with your customers and provide a personal touch to the overall experience.
Your Lifestyle Can Change
Okay, so this does not mean that you will not have to wake up in time ever, or that you can sleep as much as you want and enjoy long holidays or days of doing nothing. If you are thinking of starting something of your own, be ready to put in a lot of hard work and maybe less sleep for at least the first few years. But yes, having your own business can also mean that you do all this on your own terms, and for yourself, not slogging for someone else while you help them build their own brand.
