Being your own boss is no joke. Whether you own a small buisness, work as a contractor, or create content, you are pretty much on the clock all the time. You can set boundaries for yourself, sure, but ultimately, the success of your business is on you. And that’s a lot of pressure. But…it’s also great. You can make your own hours, call in sick when you want, and expense your vacations (legally, of course…). But to reap the benefits of the entrepreneur life, you’ve got to get your business up and running. Yeah, a 9-5 job is rough, but you’re gonna have to commit to even more hours than that to make your business successful in the beginning. I used to work at a company that built websites for clients, and the owner created it back in the first year of the internet. Imagine how hard it was to get clients back then. She probably never expected the internet to become what it is today. So, with that being said, don’t give up on the business owner’s life because it might turn out better than you ever expected. Who wouldn’t want to work for themselves?
