Reasons why being self-employed is better than being an employee
1.
2.
3. It’s the one we all dreamed
about when we realized self-
employment was a viable
option: being our own boss
When you’re self-employed,
you no longer have a “higher-
up” governing your every
move
You control how your work
is done
How you get from point A to
point B is completely up to
you and that is awesome
4. You get credit for your own
work
You start getting some
name recognition, not just
among your long-time clients,
but from complete strangers
as well
5. As an employee, you more-
or-less forced to serve whoever
decides to show up at your
employer’s place of business
As an self-employed you are
the one in control, not them
You choose whom you want
to provide service
6. As you're the boss, you create
your own schedule
If you’re not a morning
person, you can rest easy
knowing that you no longer
have to set your alarms in
triplicate in order to just barely
make your morning meeting
If you are early person then
you can set your hours for the
dawn and have a full day’s work
done
7. As a freelancer, your job is changing
constantly. You’re expected to
continually adapt, learn, and update
your skills
With every new client comes a new
challenge
When you’re self-employed, you’re
forced to think to be creative and you
love it
It’s a great feeling to know that your
skills are being put to good use and
that those skills are going to continue
to grow as your business grows
8. If you ever forget why you chose to be your own boss, think
back to what you were doing before you became a freelancer.
