Have you wondered why you want to go into business? Wonder no more. Small business owners are simply happier than "regular" workers. They are so happy, they want to continue even after normal retirement age.
An October survey found only 11 percent of small-business owners say they want to retire at all. Nine in 10 say they are happy with what they do -- with 58 percent saying they are very or extremely satisfied with their work.
"In other words, small-business owners overwhelmingly like what they do," Gallup said.
Further, small-business owners have the luxury of deciding when to retire. The poll revealed that 40 percent plan to keep working as long as their health allows. Another 47 percent said they would keep the business running, but cut back to part-time.
As the baby boomers lean toward typical retirement age, odds are that more and more of them are going to choose to keep on working -- this time for themselves. So dust off your business plan and get your business ready to go.
