entrepreneur tips

One of the last items on my list to invest in as an entrepreneur was medical coverage. I quickly realized that finding affordable self-employed health insurance options wasn’t easy. There are many choices but not all of them were within my budget. Did I really want to put my last spare dollars into purchasing insurance when I may not use daily?

In the words of @NotKarltonBanks infamous Sister Bun, “Hallelujah Yeah!”

Healthcare is essential for everyone to purchase. I became frustrated trying to figure out whether or not good healthcare insurance coverage us worth budgeting. As an entrepreneur, your business operates by how healthy you are. Most importantly, if you are the single employee for your business the income generates only when you are available to meet the needs of your clients. This proves the importance of self-care and healthcare.

Obtaining medical insurance is more than receiving yearly physicals and ensuring your flu shot is paid for. Many healthcare plans include therapy options as well. I am a strong believer in speaking with a therapist as often as needed to ensure your mental health is nurtured. Having a clear mind will allow you to grow professionally.

There are multiple health insurance options out there for the self-employed. It may take some digging to find an option that meets your current health care needs. However, it’s well worth the effort. When I began transitioning into a full-time entrepreneur I spent a few months filtering through hundreds of insurance options for business owners. I hope my personal research may be of assistance to other self-starters who are in the market for medical coverage.
