This Labor day, millions Americans say they want to stop laboring for others and take control of their own destinies by starting their own businesses.

Some six million Americans who are currently employees working for others say they plan to strike out on their own and start their own business in the next 12 months, according to a new opinion poll.

In total, some 13.6 million employed, unemployed, or self-employed adults – that’s almost eight per cent of the U.S. population - hope to take control of their own destinies by starting a new business.

A national opinion poll sponsored by E-Myth Worldwide, a provider of online business education, also found that the most popular reason to start a business – cited by one in three of those questioned - is to make more money.
