The COVID-19 pandemic has upended all of our personal and professional lives. For some, this has been an opportunity to reevaluate their careers and work. Whether due to job loss or a refocus on other priorities in their lives, entrepreneurship is something being considered as a career option. People are choosing self-employment for the flexibility, better work-life balance, independence, and control over where and when they work. Whether turning a hobby, personal interest, or side hustle into a business, people are realizing there is value in taking what they already know and commercializing it.
