For all the reasons outlined above, don’t let that be your downfall.
Personal satisfaction also ranked close behind, with 70 percent of respondents claiming it was a key advantage to running their own business.

Of course, you as the business leader have a key role in making all this happen. Occupational satisfaction.

Be available for mentoring and coaching to others. Your goal should always be continuous learning and improvement.
Of course, these are great, but they don’t happen without enlightened leadership coming first. Their experience as executive coaches and entrepreneurs gives real credibility to their assessment of some new leadership approaches that are required in business today. Benton and Kylie Wright-Ford.
