		<description>Yes. Being out of a job can be a motivation to start a business, because effectively you&#039;re creating your own job. That&#039;s why the instances of freelancers tend to rise when things are tough and people are losing their jobs; they decide it&#039;s time to chase their own dreams and try and control a bit more of their lives.</description>

		<description>Hi Ben 
i agree with all you points and also agree that money should not be the sole motivating factor. what i believe is the greatest factor in respect to starting ones own business, is your ability to create value and contribute in some sort of way. Making an impact on society, or serving a community are great ways to perpetuate profits as well as manifesting emotions of passion and love. 
These things i believe create the drive to pull through the hard times and lift off the initial launching pad of your business. 
i have some interesting articles on motivation in my personal &lt;a href=&quot;http://myselfhelpstore.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;blog over here&lt;/a&gt; if your interested.</description>
