9. Self-discipline
Besides the routine, the 9-to-5 way of life gives you the discipline you need to keep going. For example, you will be warned if you are late for work. You will be demoted if you are not doing well enough. Or you will lose your job if you make mistakes.
When you leave this system, you are in charge with this discipline, not just for the people who work for you in developing your business, but also for yourself.
This is the tricky thing. After years of working in the corporate world, you tend to cut yourself some slack more than you should.
It is not just about keeping you from making mistakes. It could be simply about keeping you motivated to put the same amount of effort everyday into your business.
