When you are self employed, you do not work office hours.

[Tobi]

When you are self employed, you do not work office hours, you work whenever there are things to be done. Seven days per week can be the norm. The upside, of course, is that you ave no grumpy superior to please and you cannot be fired. The drive to be self employed comes from the fact that employees don’t get rich on their wages.

I completely agree with what you're saying. Being self-employed or a freelancer means your schedule isn't defined by an office or bosses, but by your own projects and needs. It's true that this involves working many days a week and sometimes for hours that seem endless, but you also have the freedom to organize yourself as you see fit. The biggest advantage, as you mentioned, is that you don't have a grumpy boss or the fear of losing your job. Furthermore, this independence gives you the ability to make decisions and grow at your own pace. However, it also requires a lot of discipline and commitment, because the work never completely stops. The main motivation is usually the possibility of earning more income and not depending on a fixed salary, which can be very appealing to those who want total control over their work and financial life.

That's the truth . When you have your job you are being self employed and the boss of your life.

At the initial stage of your business, you work more than office hours. It only shortens when your business has established strong.

This is one of the major advantages of being self employed, you get to choose the amount of hours you want to work.

 

[Kross]

I am self employed. I work far beyond working hours. The only difference is that I get to choose when to work.

 

[Stardom22]

Of course yes. l have even realised that with your own business, one is supposed to work more than the office hours for sure.

 

[Augusta]

But if you want to succeed at the beginning of your business you must put in the hours and the efforts needed

The beauty of self employed is that you can choose not to work on days you don't feel like it and on days you feel ill, you can decide to rest without anyone pestering you. You get to channel all your energy into your own business and not work for someone else till you no longer have the energy to put into your own business.
