Pajamas are my power suit

Along with Zogby Analytics, GoDaddy conducted a study with 507 of its small business customers who’ve made the leap to running their own shops. For all of the fear and uncertainty that goes with being your own boss, we also found that far and wide, people almost universally enjoy more flexibility, freedom and healthier lifestyles by doing things their way.

Take the leap and you too could be a smoothie-drinking and pajama-wearing superhero who loves what you’re doing. Some highlights:

  • 88% are more optimistic about the future and have high hopes for the future of their business.
  • 53% exercise more than they did at their previous job.
  • 72% eat healthier than they did at their previous job.
  • 56% wear whatever they want, including pajamas as their power suit.
