I love working for myself. I love making my own schedule. I love setting my own prices. I love working <40 hours a week. Don’t get me wrong, I am absolutely drowning financially right now, but it’s only been 4 months. Things are picking up, turning around, and looking good. I brought in 3k+ this month.
If you have a passion and you’re considering pursuing it independently, take the risk. I was left with no choice, 9-5 wasn’t and will never work for me. It destroyed me mentally. Nothing beats self-employment!
