Ever since I was a little kid, I have always wanted to earn money from starting a business. But I didn’t know what to do and where to start. I wasn’t that confident too. After all, I am just a teen in school. I soon realized how wrong I was. I saw student entrepreneurs of my age achieving huge successes from their businesses and I wanted to be just like them.

I read a lot. I researched a lot. I then realised that all those who started their online businesses successfully wish that they started earlier!

1. It is super fun to work on your passion

Is there something that you are super passionate about? It could be a solution to a problem. Finding solutions to problems is exactly what entrepreneurs do. That might actually be your winning business idea! It is super fun to do something you like and passionate about and earn money from it. If that’s what you want, starting a business is for you 🙂

2. It is a super valuable life experience

Running a business teaches you a lot of things (whether you succeed or not). It is surely a difference experience overall compared to working in a company or joining an internship etc. In my opinion, launching a business is surely an experience worth trying.

3. Running a business teaches you a lot of habits and values

One important thing it trains you on is hard work. Running a business is no easy feat. So, starting a business will train you on this important life skill of hard work early on in life.

As a student in school, we are mostly told what to do. But when you are your own leader of your business, it trains you in being more independent too.

Having your business means doing a lot of work and you most likely won’t have enough time as you are the only one working on it. So, you will learn a lot about time management, efficiency and productivity. These are all skills you will learn from starting a business that will be super helpful when you grow older.

4. Even if you business fails, it is a valuable learning experience

You can learn from your mistakes and become much better now. AND you will have a unique experience that you can include in your resume or college application 🙂

5. You can earn money $$

Who doesn’t like some extra money! Your business might become a million dollar business if you do it right.

But even if you don’t manage to profit that much, a little money is still useful to cover your expenses. The money you earned from your business can help contribute to paying your college fees too. Speaking of college…

6. Having an Online Business helps you stand out in your college application

Does starting a business look good for college? Absolutely! Colleges love students with businesses. Running your own businesses gives you a whole load of experiences which you can write about in your personal essay!
