Working small business ownership

About 10 percent of the work force in the United States are self-employed. People choose to own and operate their own businesses for a variety of reasons to advance professionally by becoming a business owner, to earn more money, or to gain status. If you start your own business, you should be well prepared. Talk to business owners about their experiences and read books about business ownership. The United States Small Business Administration reports that over half of all new businesses fail within the first five years, and you do not want to be among them.
