Working for yourself means you basically become the business you sell. If you build houses your a contractor, just as a bber, a musician, or an actor are professionals first people second.

I'd like to become a full time consultant when I get older, but that'll take quite a while, it's only worth the effort, if you wanna become something other than yourself, I still haven't decided if I'll ever go that route, but if not I'll probably just work part time.

For a good reason (=training!). Me a media person? Hell no, that world is full of fake people and gays. I was trading in derivatives on 7 U.S. option markets for over a decade. Right now I'm preparing myself for forex trading. Besides that I'm a job slave in the distribution branch. This provides a steady income to pay the bills and sleep well  :)

Especially research and programming work. It doesn't matter if certain currencies are high or low, as long as they move there are opportunities.

Well, you asked "ur getting into forex just now?" Maybe interpreted wrong, but it sounds like a warning.

I'm surprised anyone sits down to argue with you, you deluded wanker, you're interested in scoring points not having a discussion. Serves you right I suppose, as your thought processes are disjointed and as a result you digress constantly (I think this has been explained to you before)

You still continue bickering with coach even though he shut you right up upon revealing he re-invests a nice chunk of profits back into his business... while you sit unemployed in some dingy new york tenement slam, wanking furiously over xHamster videos, pretending that you're some sort of intellectual writing novels and short stories...
An owning of epic fucking proportion!!

I have worked for myself for the last 9 years.    It's not easy!   It's fucking hard 24 7.  constant roller coaster.  

Always looking for new clients, always dealing with existing clients, always haggling over prices, always dealing with accounts payable, employees suck and are lazy, etc.


the benefits are that you do whatever the heck you want on your terms, but when you fuck up, there is no one to blame but yourself.  

God fucking damnit I am not the only one who notices this. Everyone wants to be fucking rich and clear 6 figures a year yet most people are really fucking lazy. FUCK.



I'm making this about you, lad! You've got massive pretentions that are terribly served by your various ineptitudes and motivations. You even had the audacity to try and start a "pm question answered" type of threads freely dispensing advice on how to mindfuck women!

Too bad it never went anywhere what with a grand total of THREE replies, one of which is yours, eh my little inadequate wannabe mentor?

Nice one... I see you are also prone to polarising conclusions. Self-employment not worth it as opposed to supervised employment? It would behoove you to instead recognise each mode's relative strengths and weaknesses... but no, bipolar, black-white conclusions give the illusion that you know and are absolutely sure of what you're talking about... like I've just proven you just want to score points.

Your arguments are full of fallacies... it doesn't take an intellectual to see through them.
You need to be taught the difference between critical thinking vs fallacious thinking, which you clearly were never taught at school and never picked up on your own.
Here's a starting point; http://www.laetusinpraesens.org/links/webcrit.php

Until then, please... stop arguing... stop dispensing advice... fuck off instead.

And who the fuck are you bro?

Maybe it's my stick-in-the-mud personality but there's something about being self employed which makes chores of activities which are supposed to be enjoyable.  I think it has to do with being so busy, hurried, and stressed that there's no yippie left for much except pure leisure.  I'm talking feet on the desk, beer, nachos, salsa, and Getbig.  Going out to dinner or a parties is for people who don't know what real downtime is.  

Ime, know that you are occasionally, or frequently depending on how bad you are at this,  going to have to live for your business and not much else.  You don't get to pick when that happens.  Your clients do.  Sometimes your employees do too.  And your girl will not be understanding about it.  Basically, you're going to have to keep your shit together and kick ass while being drawn and quartered by a bunch of demanding jerks.  Price accordingly.
