I would like to commend you on your post. I am not totally self-employed, I work for the developers of an internet start-up, but I see first hand how trying the process can be. I write blogs and marketing articles about real estate for NYCrentals. I love what I do and I know that our hardwork will pay off.

Great post. I agree that being self-employed takes the crap out of those tired hectic days when you need to get the job done and meet deadlines. Being self-employed also meets deadlines but you have the ability to control it. No fare, no traffic, and the best of all, no annoying boss.

Thank you for this wonderful post.

As Sandy says. It's pretty easy to think that people who have a job just work 8 hours a day.
It depends on your mentality, if you have that mentality, I guess you also won't succeed as an entrepreneur.
I always work untill something is finished and I set goals for the day, if you have a 8 hours a day mentality, you won't have everything done on time.

Well I hope this changed your point of view on 'people with a job'

With best regards,

Frank

LOL, why do people who choose their own hours assume everyone else works a mere 8? I've never understood that. Not uncommon for me to put in a 11 or 12 hour day, and usually without a break; it's the nature of my employment. And yeah…it sucks somedays, particularly when the arthritis is bothersome.

I don't actually think you can make a blanket statement that one is better than another. I think it depends on how old you are, what your responsibilities are, how many kids are in college, and so forth. Work your 8 and go home….I don't know anyone who does that. That's such a time clock mentality and no one successful has that attitude.

There are some very positive and very negative messages that people have taken from this song.

On the positive side, of course, if one considers problems to be the natural course of things, and enjoys their solution. That is, enjoys using creativity to overcome obstacles, this song truly is beneficial.

Unfortunately, this same song is the favorite among alcoholics who use it to return condemnation to spouses and families who have rejected them because of their problem drinking. That, of course, instead of changing their own behaviors.

So the bottom line is that we make our own reality with regard to what goes on inside.

Great post!

Some days I hate being self employed because sometimes clients come few and far between, and then there's others where I don't have enough time in the day to complete all the projects I need to do. For the most part, even though I work more than 40 hours a week most weeks, I would still rather be a freelance programmer than working for someone else and collecting a paycheck.
