One of the best things about owning a microbusiness is the ability to adjust your priorities to your current situation. Some priorities are locked in our top spot, but sometimes you will need to be more flexible. When you have a newborn baby to take care of, you need to be able to have a flexible schedule. Many jobs allow employees to take time off for such life events.

Owning a business also gives you this kind of flexibility – especially if you own a successful business that provides you with a residual income. Even if you do not own a business that provides you with a residual income, you still have so much control over your schedule. You will be able to change appointment times and work different hours. This year I got married and bought a house. The flexibility of owning a microbusiness helped make these exciting life events a success!
