Why You Should Start Business While Doing Job

Everyone has different reasons to start a business. I do have.

I have started – 

  • because to live a job-free life
  • because of corporate politics.
  • because I have seen and experience the recession period.
  • because I am passionate about it.
  • because I wanna be my own BOSS.
  • because I want to roam around the world.
  • because I don’t like to trade my time for money.
  • because no one became a millionaire by doing 9–5 job.
  • because the organization doesn’t care about our creativity.
  • because of uncertainty when will an organization stops loving me.
  • because I want FREEDOM in terms of TIME and MONEY.
  • because in current scenario 9–5 job is not a 9–5, it’s 24*7.
  • because I want to spend time with my family, friends and loved ones.
  • because I know my day job won’t be fulfilling all my dreams in the near future.
  • because I want to escape from the RAT race of 9–5 job and build my own empire.
  • because I want to give something back to society as I own something

and last but not least

  • because sometimes 9–5 job life sucks…

Over the years I have failed in 4 business attempts. After learning from previous failures I have launch business blog Growthfunda while working into a full-time job.

And now I am running it as my 5th successful business.

As Growthfunda is growing day by day I have been constantly asked the questions like this –

untold reasons to start business
  • Save

And I love to answers it.

Today I am answering one such question-

Why should I start a business as I am earning a decent salary in a 9–5 job.

So let’s jump in right now to understand the first WHY.


Reasons to Start Business: WHY YOU SHOULD

We Indian are born for doing hard work than smart work.

We are living in a society where typical schooling and getting a good job is the primary means of the settlement in life.

However, my dear friends whatever hard work you do for your employer none will make you rich as well as will not provide you with any kind of freedom.

Most of us are doing a slave job for bread and butter.

Everyone has own thinking and means of a side hustle.

I was also lived in the same typical mediocre life unknowingly. I came from an average family background and never thought that I will run an online business successfully.

I worked hard to get good salary hike but always disappointed with the politics and the small % of a hike every year.

You can read my whole story here escape the 9-5 job

Over the 8 Yrs of my IT experience, I realized that everyone out here is struggling for something.

Someone for

— paying huge bills.

— paying EMI.

— worried about kids schooling, marriage.

— worried about family and home etc…

— worried about uncertainty in a job.

And like this, there are other obstacles in starting your own business and you are running in the RAT race of 9–5 job since years and years resulting in a mediocre lifestyle.

Job is driving our lifestyle.

You don’t know when your organization will stop loving you.

Think of the recession scenario where everyone has struggled to get new jobs.

Despite the struggle in getting job none of us thought to start a side hustle.

What if recession-hit again or it may be possible that after a certain level of experience you are unable to get a job.

Guys world is moving towards the automation, digitalization, robotics wherein after some years robots will take YOUR JOB.

In that case, do you have plan B ready for your bread and butter?

I guess NO… then this is the answer to WHY YOU SHOULD………..?

What you are waiting for? You must identify your purpose of starting a business.

What’s holding you from starting your own business

Rather fearing for the future life, start your own business today and live job-free life.

As I am a big advocate of an online business hence I am answering second WHY in terms of Online business.
