What are the key motivators for people going into business for themselves?

There are many motivating factors why people choose to go into business for themselves. But the ones that come up most often are the following:

  • To do my own thing, control my own destiny
  • Don’t want to work for someone else
  • To better use of my skills and talents
  • To make money

While money is a key motivator, it’s important to realize it may not always be the top factors.
