Aside from being a lucrative career, being an entrepreneur has a number of reasons why one would want to transition from their current employment and start their own business. And although there is a lot of uncertainty when it comes to having your own career, it gives you the freedom you need to truly follow your passion and make the most of your abilities.

Marc Kirsten, for example, is a highly acclaimed German entrepreneur who has also taken on the roles of an author, philanthropist, designer, and artist. For years now, he has served as the Founder and CEO of the Marc Kirsten Group - a major private and commercial real estate portfolio - and other companies like Bat Bee, Hair Buddy, What’s Protein, and more.

Initially working as a paper boy at the age of 17, he started his entrepreneurial ventures by becoming the founder of Fitklusiv - a chain of fitness clubs with over 20,000 members. Marc also established Bat Bee in 2020, which is known for being a famous beverage brand that sells two-in-one soft and mixed drinks. He also founded What’s Protein in 2017 - a dietary supplement business that has sold more than 2 million products.

Due to his exceptional work over the years, Marc is among the many professionals who have found their true calling as an entrepreneur. And if you can relate to some of the reasons why people opt for an entrepreneurship career, you might just want to try your hand at starting your own business.

Creativity in Abundance

Veteran entrepreneurs have often talked about how they had difficulty fitting into a corporate environment. They felt frustrated, but once they learned how to move away from that environment and embrace their passion, they discovered something more beautiful.

Steve Jobs once said, "When you grow up, you tend to get told that the world is the way it is…Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up of people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it; you can influence it… Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again."

Wanting More Than a Nine to Five Job

Most careers tend to have stable nine-to-five timings where you can be done with work at the same time - every single day. In contrast, having your own business is a constant effort, and most of the time, you will find yourself working odd hours. Hence, there is more flexibility to the entrepreneurial lifestyle as compared to what you have experienced in traditional styles.

Passion For Learning

When doing the same job your whole life, you do not learn more beyond what your work entails. Whereas in your own business, you are constantly engaging and learning new things.

Entrepreneurs have a passion for learning, and they are never satiated with their existing knowledge. They are constantly seeking out new things, getting excited about new things, and being driven to understand them is just another sign of an exceptional entrepreneur in the making. 

And these are just a few reasons out of many - but if you relate to all of these reasons, then it may be about time you should start considering a career in entrepreneurship.
