Although there are certainly some downfalls to being an entrepreneur (more on this later), there are definitely some great things about. My top 5 are (in no particular order):

1). Control. Feeling like I have more control over my future.

2). Challenging. I like a good challenge that stretches me... there is no end to challenges I'm faced with as an entrepreneur. 

3). Flexible schedule. There's something to be said about being able to go down to my kids' school for their activities when I want, without having to ask a boss.

4). ROI. Can't say I've seen this one come to pas quite yet, but hopefully someday soon it will. You can't sell your job to another person after a few years like you can a company.

5). Doing what I love. I enjoy the freedom to follow my passions rather than the passions of a boss.
