My favorites are actually the ones that confirm what I already know in my heart and/or how I am living and doing business right now. A sample:

Number 1: Because things are changing, still and again. But now the changes are incremental and diverse, not overnight and obvious. Start adding the changes up and themes emerge. You start getting persuaded that, yeah, being an entrepreneur right now is different--is better.

Number 3: Because you can be a soloist and an entrepreneur at once.

Number 4: Because you can grow but don't have to.

Number 43: Because it's still easier to balance your life when you own a successful business. And more people than ever wish they could arrange that balance for themselves.

Number 75: Because, in the end, being an entrepreneur is more than ever the way you can choose your path and find the deep satisfaction of walking it. You can earn your days without being beholden. You can make something, affect the world, leave something behind where once nothing stood. You can turn work into meaning for yourself and for others. You can be proud. You can leave a wake. Come good or ill, you can assume responsibility for yourself, and be whole, and be who you were meant to be.

Cool, no? And they encourage you to submit your own reasons, to add to the list.

Number 76: Because there is no better way to be true to yourself than to build your own business as a reflection of your values and experience.
