Let's talk self employment.

[JJ 1975]

Depends on if you have a family or not. Change is scarier if you have people depending on you to make money to live. As far as working for yourself, I think it seems so freeing.

Being Self employed is one of the hardest and....most rewarding endeavours you can ever undertake. However and this is a BIG however....YOU HAVE TO WORK YOUR FUCKING ASS OFF EVERY SINGLE DAY AND NIGHT. Everybody wants to be a boss...but nobody wants to pay the cost.

cool, this is what I had thought and it looks like it's true. I support self-employment but I don't need to do it. I think that I'll be moderately happy with the job that I'm aiming for.

i agree about the family thing jj said too.

I heard Diddy say something that was true:

"There’s no blueprint for it, no schooling or support system for this - we out there on our own hustling making history"

Just a reminder that you have to know what YOU want and work to get it. Got too many people out here chasing someone else's dream

Just had this conversation.. Yes being self employed is harder that a typical 9-5 but the rewards are far greater.. If your not willing to sacrifice and not a go getter you should not try it. Me personally I rather struggle my own initially then reap the rewards further down the line than struggle for somebody else and the reap the rewards for 30 years.
