Be your own boss or work for someone else?
Would you rather work for a business or work for yourself somehow. And if you were your own boss, what would you ideally do?
I've always worked at businesses but always wanted to find my own way of making money. Haven't ever taken the leap.
I work for myself. It sucks! Running and growing a business is hard af especially if you enjoy having unpaid hobbies. lol.
Anyways, it's self satisfying though and I would never not have a business registered with the state. It's great for tax purposes...definitely.
I do everything, but illegal stuff. I'm a Virtual Administrator, but last week I detailed my first boat. Sometimes I do housekeeping, detail cars. Shoot I'll babysit your well behaved children if it keeps me from returning to the evils of corporate America.
I lived in a self-build van-house for 3 years so I provide consultations on that. Do you need a brake job? If so, I can do that too.
I work banquet serving shifts from time to time thru the gig economy. I live a portfolio life. Which means, I have multiple passions and I enjoy working them all.
But overall, my dream is to be an Empowerment Speaker and a Workplace Wellness Coach. I want help people find joy and personal fulfillment in this thing called LIFE.
I do miss having a regular paycheck though, but after getting terminated for the first time in my life last year as a Property Manager, I'm nervous to go back.
I've had to be my own boss for a little while and it definitely taught me how to self-motivate! If I don't do the work, it doesn't get done. Great lesson to learn and instill in myself.
Boy I could talk a lot about this - (used to work at a big bank - now have run a few startups on the entrepreneurial path). But suffice to clarify one thing: When you start your own business its not really correct in my view that you are ‘your own boss’. I used to have 1 boss when I worked at what is now BankofAmerica or JPMorgan -but once i started a business as founder/ceo i have always had TONS of bosses - vendors, bankers, lawyers, employees (yup- you better keep the best people happy cuz if you dont you wont succeed - so who’s the boss then?). board, etc etc. There are a TON of reasons to start your own business. Yes you can be a bit more master of your own destiny -but no -lolol - you really wont feel like ‘your own boss’. Or at least, if you are supposed to feel that - I am certainly not doing it right!
I started my own company and then sold it and started up several more and sold all but two of them.
My NET now is over $4,500,000 NOT to shabby for a HIGH SCHOOL Drop out. IF I had stayed in school I would be another idiot working for someone
Yes, immediately
I think I'd rather work for someone else, less stressed out that way!
Be my own boss
Be my own boss. It feels good to control your own destiny
I made the change from working for someone and then opened my own company. It started with me working 12 hours per day. Traveling 2 hours each way to work. It was Toxic Environment. I decided to make the change and open my company. What a blessing it is!
