• Status updates with social media websites such as Twitter, Facebook, Google +, and LinkedIn are often referred to as microblogs. Microblogs are typically easier and more fun to manage than traditional blogs. The same holds true for microbusinesses versus big businesses.

• As a microbusiness owner, you are lean, mean, and flexible. You can shift your focus and improvise like no other business.

• You can pursue multiple small projects, which gives you a variety of income opportunities. Many people enjoy this better than relying on one source of income that consumes all of their time.

• You can choose to have a much more flexible schedule and can often work from your home or wherever you want.

•  Many microbusiness owners work for 20 – 30 hours a week and make just as much and sometimes more than those who work 40 – 80 hours a week at a traditional job.
  

  Many microbusiness owners experience so much freedom!

•  You can choose with whom you work. If you don’t enjoy working with an employee or customer, you can easily go your separate ways. As an employee at a typical job, you either quit or continue to work with people you don’t enjoy.

•  In many cases, you won’t need more than a few hundred dollars to start the beginning phases of your microbusiness.

•  You can make your microbusiness your full time job, your part time job, or a way to make extra money in your spare time each year. It’s up to you – your business, your rules.

•  You don’t have to deal with office politics on a daily or weekly basis. Come to think of it, you don’t ever have to deal with office politics. The main things you have to do are be a good, honest person who creates a positive impact on peoples’ lives with your products and services.

•  You can choose the rates that you charge.

•  You can often choose your own work schedule to meet your unique needs.

Whether your end goal is to remain very small or to own a very big business, the microbusiness path is often the best, most practical way to start.
