Running your own business can (1) provide really high job satisfaction – the satisfaction of being in (2) charge of your own life and making your own (3) decisions about how things should be done. If you are ambitious, you may want to achieve (4) success on a large scale and eventually become rich. Or it may be (5) enough for you simply to enjoy work more and to achieve a modest increase (6) in living standards at the same time.
It's important to take into (7) account the less desirable aspects of the job as (8) well. For instance, if problems (9) arise, it will be up to you to sort them (10) out. You'll probably have to work harder and longer hours, especially in the (11) early stages. You'll probably see less of your family and friends too. And, of course, you won't enjoy the security of a (12) regular pay packet.
If you see all this as a challenge (13) rather than a disadvantage, you have at (14) least one of the qualities needed for success. Other qualities (15) include: the ability to work on one's own, a refusal to (16) give up, and a willingness to take on responsibility.
