Self-employment is the dream because there are no ceilings to your growth. People have this notion of self-employment being a wonderland of hammock reading and money easily flowing in. It can be those things but it's about loving what you are doing and not trying to get free from what you are doing.
When you love what you do, a 70 hour work week is nothing - you feel purposeful and valuable. You did it because you have a dedication to a dream or a vision. One that is yours and not someone else's.
- jfi 16y agoAgree, I was working 60 hr weeks and earning a nice investment banking salary. I now work every waking hour and earn maybe 1/8th as much. We have to fight for every bit of progress that we make, but I love (almost) every second of it. All types of employment have their trade offs; you have to figure out what you are comfortable with and go with it.
