So here's the thing. I don't expect everyone to do what I do. I don't expect everyone to want to work for themselves, or desire the stress of managing your own company. I don't expect people to be motivated by the same things I am. Not everyone should be an entrepreneur.(Sometimes I think maybe even I shouldn't be! haha)
So, what's good for me may not be good for you=what's good for you may not be good for me.
I know how much work it takes. I know how hard and stressful it can be. I know all the business failure and success figures. I know that the way you see things makes perfect sense to you, and in your world it is "logic". It's not. I'm sorry, but an opinion is always an opinion no matter how many dresses and statistics you cover it in.
If you suck at self employment, you will likely fail. If you suck at work force employment, you will ALSO likely fail. The hourly employment arena is not the fix all. There are no guarantees there, as much as there are none here in "Self Employment World." Job security is a bull, having someone else pay you does not fix anything, and the cost of being employed needs to count against the amount you make before you match your income to the self employed income.
Additionally, just like there is a "Buyers Market" and a "Sellers Market" in real estate, there is an "Employers Market" and a "Employees Market" in employment. But we'll talk about that later.
It is not that I believe self employment to be the fix all either. However, those who are self employed deserve more than being treated like fools. We deserve support and strength of those around us. I chose to control my own income. When you beat on my belief that I am capable of that, you effect my confidence. You help to push me towards failure. If you are my friend or family member, you (although you think you are helping me "see the error" of my decisions) hamper me and my ability to be successful.
So, this is what I do. I may venture into the world of work force employment every once in a while, for a myriad of reasons. I may decide to do what I do AND work in the workforce. However, what I do, my desire to work for myself, is part of who I am. Please don't try to change me...many before you have tried...and I will never give up on me again...
