Micropreneur and self-employed are terms used interchangeably; however, they are quite different. The significant difference lies in how long your business can function without you. As micropreneurs, we are the heart and soul of our business.

The number of staff a micropreneur has a range from one to five. Therefore, you are either doing everything yourself, or every action is carried out under your direct orders.

We love our chosen field, and the joy of building a business from the ground makes it all worth the stress. Microprepreurs are mostly known for three things; passion, ambition, and skill.

These qualities make us willing to go over and beyond for our business and customers, most times, that entails giving every product or client our personal care and touch.

However, when this happens, we are no longer micropreneurs but instead self-employed. Been the nexus of your business can give you a feeling of control. However, it can leave your business weak and liable to attacks from unforeseen circumstances.
