Before you jump into small business entrepreneurship, consider first the following myths which we will debunk.
1. Starting a Small Business is Easier Work
This isn’t true. You'll probably work harder. A small business needs more work to survive. However, the potential to earn is more. The difference is, at work you would balk at overtime. With your small business, you may actually enjoy working overtime because you are caring for your own business.
2. MYTH: I'll be the boss. You may be the boss of your company. But you will still have to please someone else: the client. So in truth, they are the boss. Make sure you keep them happy and well served.
3. MYTH: I Can Now Ratchet Up My Asking Price
We often think that we work too much and are paid too little. When starting a small business we may be tempted to think that we can now push for a price more befitting our skills. However, we should remember that we have competition who might be offering their services for a pretty low amount. We always have to be competitive and practical. And exorbitant pricing may not help our small business any much.

Yes, you do own your time. Unfortunately you will find yourself using more and more of this time to tend to your business. So ultimately, no, you won’t gain much in the time department.
6. MYTH: I can't work any harder. I can't do all this.
Do you know that they most managers give more jobs to busy employees because they seem to know how to balance and allocate their time? The key to working more is to work smarter, not harder.
This will take a lot of organization, but being able to accomplish much in less time will prove to be its own reward.
7. MYTH: Freedom at Last!
Free from what? And free to do what. Yes, you will have more leeway to do things when you want to. But this does not mean that you will be free to do nothing. Or be free to do something else than tend to your business when you have to.
8. MYTH: I’m in Charge. There’ll be No Mismanagement from Me.
