It used to be the case that the 9-to-5 job was the standard, secure, solid way to structure your career and life. That’s become less and less true as time has gone on. Now, there are many compelling reasons to quit the 9-to-5 and go your own way. Naturals2Go owner-operator Miles Sage is the perfect example.

Here are some of the great reasons that Miles discovered to quit his 9-to-5:

#1: Work on your schedule.

A 9-to-5 means you’ll be working, well… 9 to 5. That rigid schedule just doesn’t work for everyone. One of the best reasons to quit your 9-to-5 is that you’ll be able to make your own schedule, and work when it’s convenient for you. Making your own hours is a great perk. As Miles puts it, his time is now truly “his” time.

#2: You call the shots.

In a 9-to-5, you’re answering to someone above you. When you break away from that structure, the only person you have to answer to is yourself. Being your own boss and calling the shots yourself is a great reason to take the entrepreneurial journey.

#3: Your hard work pays off — for you.

When you work in a corporate structure at a 9-to-5 job, you’re working as a part of the larger machine. Your work benefits the company, and you get compensated for it. When you quit your 9-to-5 and work for yourself, your hard work is paying off directly for you.

#4: Enjoy a better work-life balance.

The daily schedule for your 9-to-5 probably looks something like this: Get ready early in the morning, commute to your office, get home by 6, and have a few hours to yourself before bed. That doesn’t leave much time outside of work to enjoy life. When you work for yourself, you can enjoy a better work-life balance because you get to work when it’s convenient.

#5: Launch your entrepreneurial journey.

There’s no better time to start your entrepreneurial journey and start working for yourself. If you’re stuck in the 9-to-5 grind, it’s not going to be easy to become the entrepreneur you want to be. Jumping in headfirst and leaving the 9-to-5 is the first step.
