Being an agent, you are your own boss. You can decide how much income you want to make, you have the freedom and flexibility to decide how you want to use your time. Running you own business makes you feel you are in control and gives you personal satisfaction. You have more quality time with family and friends. You are able to make your own decision and implement your own ideas.

It is a double edge sword. The advantages can become disadvantages that work against you. You can decide to spend time to do something else instead of working on your business. It could mean long working hours at the beginning when you start up your business. It can also be stressful at times when you need to achieve business targets.
