Work for yourself

The freedom you have when working for yourself. Not having to report to anyone on a regular basis. I know there are many disadvantages to running your own business, but on balance I do prefer the perks.
Obviously there is more pressure on yourself. Ensuring you make it pay, and relying on your own skill and direction to lead the way forward. Not having to justify your actions to anyone can be daunting, but if you’re a motivated individual and you have always shown you can lead the way, running your own business will enable you to actually be rewarded for the extra effort you always put in.
I was always told at my regular job that I was superior at my job. I hit and exceeded targets regularly, but there is no reward for this in a large company structure. You’re just a number.

Yes this is a good point. It can be very tough but there are plenty of positives also

@Danielclark691 As long as you factor in all the negatives and positives, then you'll make a good decision.

Yes I could do. I don’t have time for a full time job though as I need the flexibility

Having your own business does have its perks.

Yes this is an advantage. I think you’re under more pressure but you can do as you please to a large extent

I did that for a few years designing and executing landscaped gardens. But now I just reap the benefit of my hard work - I am now a home body
