Do you constantly have the Sunday Scaries? Monday Mayhem? ๐ฑ
There are other ways to earn an income that doesnโt involve languishing in a soul-sucking 9 to 5 job.
Here are 25 reasons for starting your own business in midlife:
You want to do work you love.

โ Do YOU want to start a business? What's stopping you?
I run 3 part-time businesses outside of my 9 to 5 hours - freelance writing, personal development coaching for entrepreneurs, and photography - sometimes during early mornings, sometimes evenings, sometimes weekends, and sometimes all three! And I started them when I was a single mum.
