Introduction
Starting a business or diving into entrepreneurship is not that easy but it’s a rewarding journey. Aside from monetary benefits that you can gain once you successfully built your business, it will also give you self-satisfaction and time freedom to do what you want. When you have your own business, you have to perform most of the tasks at first that why it’s quite difficult unlike being an employee that you only need to perform a specific task.
