Would you prefer a regular income from a 9 to 5 job, from a regular employment. Or would you go for a more challenging career as a "self employed" Here you can have unlimited income, only limited to your drive and insperation. (Also, at times not getting what you want but frustrations and challenges)
As for me I will like the later as we came earn very good income and eventually become financially free with residual income coming our way regularly. But must be prepared to take on the challenges and the disciple to go no.
If we are considering this type of income, what are the various options available there in the market.
Thanks Cheers

Definitely it must be having your own business. The sense of accomplishment is really great. We only live life once so it is important we go all out to pursuit our dreams as well as attaining financial freedom in the process.
You are doing great. :-)

My husband works in a 9 to 5 job with a lot of overtime. I have my own business teaching music. It suits me, as I can choose my own hours and I work from my own house. I am taking a year off now to study more instruments but I hope to start back again in the very near future.

Woh! you play instruments, that is great. Myself, not much of a person on instruments. My wife and daughter are strong in their respective indian instruments.
Self employed, does not only suit an individual, but also gives them great lee way for changes and also have the potential to create a residual income. Cheers

I've tried both. I like having my own business because your earnings are limitless, the only downside is that it takes so much time and energy to succeed in your own business. So I would prefer now a 9 to 5 job that pays great :-).

Definitely self employed.I don't understand why people selling their abilities on few hundred bucks per month.as i understand people so afraid of face challenge and win against it.they prefer to sitting on the bench and watch match rather then jump to the ground and hit a gaol.

In the Phillippines, I think most people prefer the 9 to 5 job since Filipinos were not really born with the entrepreneur mind. I believe Chinese are the dominating individuals when it comes to business. They were taught by their culture how to stand up on their own and never rely on someone else when it comes to work. And they also have a nice attitude and intelligent mind on how to run a business. I think it is because of our culture that we Filipinos are just contented on a regular job and most of us fear the idea of experimenting.
