I agree. Being your own boss is the only working freedom we can have. I've worked for myself for the last 8 years. The best thing about it is that I have complete freedom with my time; the worst thing about it is that I'm responsible for everything.
Employees don't have to worry about company taxes, paying other employees, lawsuits, providing health insurance, raising capital, security, and a myriad of other things. I don't have to worry about being fired, glass ceilings or running out of vacation days. I would never go back to becoming an employee again. Build your own business with your labor, not someone elses. The exception is if you get lots of stock options in a fast rising, successful company - in this case you can become a multi-millionaire really quickly and never have to work again.
Is it normal To not want to waste my life doing as I'm told?
