Can You Work For Yourself?
Working for yourself is a double-edged sword. You have more control, which can be incredibly fulfilling, but it can also be dangerous. Not having someone tell you what to do may result in you not doing anything. On the other hand, being in control of what you do may give you the motivation and inspiration to do great things!
The fundamental difference between the two is that, working for yourself, you take on more risk, but you can also reap more rewards. I don’t think it’s particularly helpful to compare the two because some of the differences are advantages for some people and disadvantages for others. It’s really about you and what you prefer.
Working for yourself doesn’t necessarily mean working by yourself – you could work in your clients’ offices, or at a co-working space – but the point is you have to manage how you work. No-one is telling you exactly what to do, or how or when to do it.
If I could pick the single most important trait you need to successfully work for yourself, it’s self discipline. As far as running your own business goes, ultimately you’re not accountable to anyone but yourself.
There is an incredible freedom that comes with working for yourself, so why not sit down and think about how you prefer to work? What would be your ideal ‘work lifestyle’, and does that fit in with working for yourself?
