A Lifestyle Entrepreneur is someone who has chosen to start a business not just to make money, but to create the life they want (or need) to live.
There are six main reasons why people become Lifestyle Entrepreneurs:
They want to do work that they are passionate about
They need flexibility to care for children or loved one
They want flexibility to live their ideal life
They need to control the physical demands of their work due to physical limitations, injuries, or illness
They want to live in a beautiful place that doesn’t have a lot of jobs
They don’t want to (or aren’t able to successfully) work for a boss
Being a Lifestyle Entrepreneur is a great way to create the life you want to live. It’s not easy at first (it usually takes 3-5 years for a business to be successful), but it is a journey that can take you to a life that working a 9 to 5 job cannot create.
Many of my clients are Lifestyle Entrepreneurs. Here are some examples:
