Reasons why you love working for yourself

[simonm]

Why do you prefer being self employed over employed?

 

Days like today are great, took a hedge out for a customer and got another 3 jobs out of it, also ended up erecting a fence where the hedge once stood that looks customer made us bacon sarnies for breakfast cold sarnies for dinner loads of chocolate biscuits endless pots of tea and to top it off gave us a £30 tip for working so hard in the rain. Having a good job recognized makes it all worth while

Self employed over being employed, one word "freedom"

Flexibility.

I love it as I can sit inside and watch it rain on days like today!

 

Independence is a massive one, the ability to decide where the business is going and what I want to do.

 

Of course this does mean its all down to me!

For days like today when its chucking it down I can look outside and go nah! In all seriousness I like it because all the effort and investment I put in I get back 100% for my own benefit rather than someone else's.

Although sometimes I think if someone were to offer me a no hassle full time job, just turn up crack on with a days work and go home not having to worry about anything else, would seem quite appealing!

Flippin 'eck Varty, I must be doing something wrong cos I've got no freedom at all!

I'm a complete slave to my business. It never goes away, I'm always worrying, it demands all my time.

I still prefer it to being employed though.

 

 

Then I get home and I'm a flipping slave there too!

:lol:

Delegation and time management is what you need

 

One wise person once said to me:

 

'Finding time to work on your business is as important as time spent working within your business.'

 

I know many who work within but not many who have learnt to work on.

 

Just a few ramblings
