Introduction:
There has never been a better time for NDIS participants to take control of their future and build a life of independence and financial security.
Entrepreneurship is not just a means of income; it’s a pathway to freedom, self-expression, and a life designed on your terms. If you’ve been dreaming of turning your passions into a sustainable business, now is the moment to take action.
With that said, here are 8 reasons why you should start creating your own business today! 👊
With ongoing changes to the NDIS, many participants are feeling uncertain about the future. But instead of seeing these changes as obstacles, they can be seen as opportunities. Building your own business puts you in control, offering stability and independence regardless of external changes. When you’re the boss, you set the course for your future, which is empowering in a time of transition.
Starting your own business allows you to go beyond the limitations of traditional employment. Instead of relying on a fixed income, entrepreneurship offers you the chance to generate multiple streams of income and achieve financial freedom. Whether you want to work part-time or create a full-time venture, having a business lets you design your own hours, giving you more flexibility to manage your time and energy in a way that suits your life and needs.
One of the most exciting aspects of entrepreneurship is turning what you love into a business. Whether it's art, health and wellness, teaching, or something entirely unique, building a business around your passion means waking up every day excited to work on something meaningful to you. Your passion fuels your business, and your business fuels your life. It’s a win-win!
Starting your own business is not just about making money—it’s about finding your purpose. For many NDIS participants, entrepreneurship can be a transformative journey that builds self-confidence and fosters a sense of purpose. By actively contributing to society, sharing your talents, and engaging in meaningful work, you’ll feel empowered and valued in a way that traditional employment may not always provide.
One of the best parts about becoming an entrepreneur through the NDIS is the wealth of support available. From business coaching to technology, and community programs like Phoenix Entrepreneurs, you’re not on this journey alone. You’ll have the tools, guidance, and network to help you every step of the way as you build your business and your future.
If you’ve been thinking about starting your own business, now is the perfect time to take action. The NDIS supports entrepreneurial pathways, and with the right guidance and tools, you can build a life you love—one that provides both financial security and personal fulfillment.
It’s time to seize this opportunity, take control of your future, and start the entrepreneurial journey that will lead to financial independence and the life you’ve always dreamed of!

Nature of Coaching: Our coaching sessions will involve providing specific instructions and tasks that are essential for your business development.
Potential Triggers: We recognise that being told what to do can be challenging or triggering for some individuals. If you have any conditions, such as PTSD or ODD, that make it difficult to receive direct instructions, please inform us in advance.
