Why 9/10 SBOs Are Entrepreneurs Despite Sacrifices (Infographic)

The American dream is alive and well – showing that sacrifices do pay off.

In a recent survey by OnDeck, 81% of American small business owners stated that they traded the security of a corporate job for the flexibility and earning opportunities that come with owning a business.

On top of this, more than half said they work 50 hours a week, with 9/10 admitting to working on weekends – that’s compared to just 1/10 of the rest of the working population.

And after they’ve left the office, 80% continue working from home or elsewhere.

Major benefits to entrepreneurship despite long hours

Despite the long hours, 65% of entrepreneurs said they’re in a better financial situation and half said they have a better work/life balance.

Best of all? Nearly 90% said they wouldn’t change a thing or go back.
