I'd rather be self-employed. Being my own boss. How about you?

haha You noticed that h? While I'm earning in mylot, I'm taking care of my baby and waiting for customers to come buy my Ice Candy and Load. I guess you can call that multi tasking. Hehe And even when I earn just a little, it's really feels good because you know you deserve it.

I would rather be self employed.It saves time. I choose my timings.I am my BOSS.Working for somebody means earning for them and I get a paltry income making some others RICH.I can work to earn multi streams of Income.I am completely independent to do what I like and love to do .

I agree. When I work hard, I earn more. Unlike when you are employed, even when you work hard, you get paid higher. You'll have to wait for a promotion which comes once in a lifetime. hehe

Same like you. But I got it very lately, earlier I worked as Bank Officer. Now I am freelance worker, doing lots of businesses like Life Insurance Company Advisor and many number of network businesses including online earnings. The entire time is at my disposal and I'm the boss on my Income to make terms as I like.

if my business income is sufficient enough to support all our needs and wants, i'd rather be my own boss and have my own time. but reality sinks in and we need to work. the only good thing about being employed is that you need not worry too hard when the company is not doing good. but if it's your own business at risk, it involves your own money and invesment.

I think you should still worry if the company's not doing good for it might close. And you might lose your job. But yes, it's not that big of a headache compared if you own the business. What I don't want with employment is that when I get older, about 30's, what if they fire me? Then it would be hard for me to look for a new job because companies these days prefer younger applicants.
