I have always wanted to be my own boss. Ever since I was a child, I can remember being in awe of family members who owned their own businesses. They always had the freedom to attend family events on a whim and generally seemed to be happy most of the time. My Grandfather’s brother owned a motorcycle shop and dealership and I can recall all of the fun that us kids had pretend riding on all of the bikes in the showroom. We never worried about getting in trouble because well, let’s face it, our Uncle was the boss and he would never get angry at us.
As I became an adult, my career path took me in the direction of education. Although I never abandoned my dreams of becoming a successful entrepreneur, I also had a desire to impart knowledge unto the youth so I put my business plans on hold while I pursued my degrees in education. It wasn’t until I started blogging that I realized that my dreams of being my own boss were still attainable and that I would be able to bring them to fruition through my blog.
Becoming your own boss:
Since becoming a successful blogger, I have had the pleasure of interacting with other determined entrepreneurs and business owners. As a matter of fact, one of my old students, who is now in her twenties, owns a successful Amway independent business owner. I often marvel at all of the experiences that she has traveling the world in order to share her story with other aspiring young people who want to take control of their financial destiny. Additionally, she has access to the full line of exclusive Amway products and they really seem to be great quality at affordable prices for today’s budget savvy families. Check out the Amway sales force:
Becoming an Amway Independent Business Owner:
Individuals and couples who become Independent Business Owners (IBO) for Amway have the ability to create a family business that can be passed down from generation to generation. Along with the perks that come from being your own boss, here are some of the other benefits of becoming an Amway IBO:
- The ability to earn income that can supplement, replace, and even exceed your current income.
- Being able to set your own flexible schedule and complete control over your business hours.
- The opportunity to help others build successful businesses.
- Attending educational and rewarding business conferences.
- Experiencing the personal satisfaction at building a better financial future for you and your family.
What are you waiting for?
In business, the old saying, “The early bird catches the worm,” couldn’t be more true. If you are ready to start your own journey as an entrepreneur, you can start your own Amway business risk-free and more easily than you could ever imagine. Take advantage of this unlimited earning opportunity and never worry about running out of vacation days again! After all, who is going to fire you since you are the boss?!?!
Let’s Discuss: What would be some of the benefits of becoming your own boss?

I would love to be my own boss, but I don’t know if I am ambitious enough. LOL. I tried selling Avon for a while and it was a lot more work chasing people down than I realized.
I actually started my own bookkeeping service when I couldn’t take working for a boss anymore–it was successful for 10 years–then things got tough all over and I took a job–but still retained some of my clients–I am now semi retired and still have those clients! I had a friend who sold Amway and I know she loved it-at the time she was a sahm and they needed to supplement their income-this company was a perfect fit for her.
My Hubs and I were in business many years ago. If I were to start a business today, I would for sure have more money than I do now.
A little extra money from a business would help me be a little more independent. It would be great to be your own boss.
Starting my own business would be helpful for making extra money to splurge with.
In the past I’ve attended Amway parties and their products always seemed to be great.
It would give us something to do as a family!
Thanks for the chance.

Having my own business offers me more flexibility to still earn an income, but be able to be there for my kids when they need me! Plus I can support the husband while he returns to college for a new degree.
That is a very generous giveaway sponsored by Amway! I love the flexibility of being able to set my own hours while working at home.
Having my own home business means financial freedom, debt control and eventually having my husband working at home too
Having your own business is a plus, but I could never sell Amway! I just dont have it in me.. My dad tried to see it when I was younger.. we had so many of the products! Great products, but I dont have the drive to do that!
Starting a business would be great, especially now that my little boy is in school! I’d love to be a better contributor to our finances.
Network Marketing is certainly one great business model to earn passive and residual income. A year of hard work can result in years of earnings.
Having a business would be life changing as it would make our life very busy.
Having my own business means financial freedom.
When I was growing up, I watched my father work really long hours and he passed away at a very young age from owning his own business. The only thing he ever wanted from me was if I was not a stay at home mom to NEVER work for myself. I do own two businesses but in different areas than what he did and the hours are much better. I love Amway, have been a fan for many years.
My best friend from high school is an Amway business owner, along with several other members of her family. They love it and have been successful with it.
I have never heard of Amway before, but I know the hubs wants to eventually start his own business/practice so this would be something he can look into 🙂
I’ve met lots of Amway business owners and they all seem to have a purpose and a great outlook on life. It reminds me of some of my favorite professional bloggers :).
I think the benefits of being your own boss would be being able to set your own hours and work around family commitments.
Being your own boss is what most if not all of us want.
Def a dream, love the freedom to do what I want when I want!
Being your own boss would be awesome, I’ve never heard of this though thanks for the infor
Ahhh being my own boss would be AWESOME… soo have to check this out.. perfect timing, thanks for sharing
It is definitely a dream to be your own boss, but challenging too. Never was brave to start
something like that besides my consulting stuff, but it is more like a job.

I would one day like to run my own business. Direct selling however is not for me. One has to be very aggressive to succeed in Amway. I don’t think I am capable of that.
I’ve tried direct selling before and I’m not the greatest at it. lol.
would bring in more money
Sounds great, however, I have tried direct sales and have failed. I am just not great at it!
Have heard of Amway before and actually have a few friends who are doing it. I don’t have the fortitude to do anything like this. I couldn’t even do Mary Kay. 🙂
Being your own boss can be great,but sometimes that can also turn around and bite you, No direct sales for me,I couldn’t even do Avon..LOL
I own two small businesses. They are quite a bit of work but I love being independent and working for myself. Amway makes really great products and I have heard people have success with selling it.
I am my own boss and this is a great company!
I know a few people who have been quite successful with Amway. It is a doable way to start your own business. Good luck to you Katherine on your business venture.
When I was home with the kids I entertained this idea. I like the make your own hours aspect.
I love being my own boss with my blog. It’s come with so many great perks – like getting to meet other bloggers.
I’ve been hearing about Amway a lot these days, maybe it’s time to take it a bit more seriously? Being my own boss would be amazing. I feel like I need something like this in my life because the military only pays so much and with a potential new baby making our total 4 I need something to help bring in some extra income.
Starting a business would give me freedom to make my own decisions
My husband and I did own our business, and the freedom of it was great! But it was also very stressful, especially in Ireland, where employees have such strong rights and privileges that it was extremely difficult to fire anybody who wasn’t doing their job. We closed the business last year and moved to the States. Owning a business now would change my life again in terms of the huge headache it can be!
I work a very boring day job that I’ve kind of hit a dead end in. Starting my own business would just make my life happier, change up things for me, give me more drive.
Having my own business would change my life because I will feel useful. I will be able to contribute to pay our family bills and keep busy in something I would love to do.
It would allow extra income taking a lot of stress of my husband and I while giving me more family time and freedom
I love working for myself. Nothing better!
I can make my own hours and spend time with my family or pursing other hobbies.
I’m busy enough without another business.
Thanks for the contest.

it would help me be my own person. Come out of my shell and let me work my own hours
Maybe I would not miss as many of my son’s ball games. Thankyou
starting a business would change my life because i would be able to stay at home and be the wife and mother that i have always dreamed of becoming. my husband and i know that starting our own business will be hard work but we feel that it’s worth it.

Starting my own business would give me extra money and freedom to make my own schedule.
el iniciar un nuevo negocio me ayudaria a subirme el animo ha tratar de
ser mas positiva pues aveces los pensamientos negativos me invaden, como
el tipico, soy una inutil, solo sirvo para ama de casa y sin mi marido
no podria sobrevivir, y ese tipo de cosas que aveces pensamos las
personas que no nos desenvolvemos laboralmente por alguna razon, yo en
mi caso no puedo salir a trabajar ya que tengo una baby pequeña y aqui
donde vivimos no conocemos absolutamente a nadie que nos pueda cuidar
ala nena y dejarla con desconocidos definitivamente no es una opcion
para nosotros, yo me siento mal, que hay veces que mi esposo se le
dificulta cubrir algunos pagos, pero no puedo hacer nada por que no
genero ingresos, como dice un dicho, NO LE DOY PERO TAMPOCO LE QUITO,
trato de limitarme en las cosas en que gasto dinero, aveces mi nena
quiere algo y no puedo comprarselo porque el dinero que traigo no es
mio, ya esta destinado para algo en especifico, yo quisiera empezar un
nuevo negocio para superarme a mi misma, subirme el animo, el
autoestima y al mismo tiempo ayudar en casa con los gastos o ayudar a
mi familia en mexico, tambien seria bueno para conocer gente en esta
ciudad ya que no tengo amigos aqui, gracias por la oportunidad.
Starting my own business would get me more money in my pocket, I could work my own hours, and have more time to do things. Thank you for the chance to win this!
