I found out (again) that it REALLY sucks to work under a boss. A man should be his own boss, if you do allright you can be proud, if you suck it's your own fault. Bosses SSSSUUUUCCCCKKKK !!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate bosses.

In short..when you work for someone you're putting all your eggs into one basket. You're expendable. With your own business if you lose a client, you don't lose your entire income, go get another client. Make your own schedule, more freedom...unless you intend to grow.

I'm reading a good book about this currently:

"The Midas Touch" by Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosacki... I definitely recommend it.

You get to learn about all kinds of fun shit like quarterly taxes, schedule C filings with the IRS, commercial insurance, self employment tax, then theres the licensing depending on your business. All of this before you ever get to see a penny.

Spot on. I have 2 businesses after working for "the red tape corporate world" for a number of years and having a short, fat asshole tell me what to do and that has no life giving me orders. I will never go back to the corporate world fuck them.

I agree JnN, I've been a fool thinking a guy could be satisfied working for someone else. I'm gonne correct this all  (this is a TA statement right ... )

It does suck for sure, but -cliche, cliche- it can be damn hard to earn enough income to pay the bills and sleep well.
In 2008 I had a pretty successful year, so I expected I could quit my job within a year. Unfortunately 2009 till now were average/bad years, but fuck, I'm not a quitter, so I keep doing my best to make that important step.

I read coaches post lol, none of it made sense as usual

most people who say theyre their own boss aren't actuall bosses, I mean being a personal trainer is not being ur own boss, really the term "your own boss" makes no sense, people who say this say it to sound cool or something...

the responsibility of having to make ur own income is difficult to deal with, working along affects ur personality, and everyone who is actually self employed is taking much risk in order to not have a boss. People who seek this position tend to have difficulty interacting with people... they tend to make ok or very little money, and their social problems get worse and worse and soon their shitty "self employment" is the only employment they can have because they never learned how to get along with others

I have been my own boss to so speak, really I was no ones boss and even though I made my own hours.... really this just meant I had no off time, if I slept it means I was on break lol, and indeed I have had to work hard for the whatever interviewing skills I have now. As soon as I walk through the door the interviewer gets the vibe that I walk around like I own the place, I work hard not to have this attitude, maybe I don't actually look this way but I am self conscious of it, and this has to do with me being self employed for 4 years

I got money that says you couldn't do my job for a week. What cha say big mouth?

[apply85]

lol i'm sure you are an important fella    and you are needed and no one else can do u what u do.... lol

listen, the point is this... if u want to be ur own boss in order to avoid responsibility, in order to avoid people having power over you... you can maybe find soemthing that pays ur mortgage, but if u arent driven to it by sheer talent or love for it, my advice is don't take the plunge, relate to your boss better or find another job, because there's a good reason few people actually operate companies and most people are employees, owning ur own shit means waaaay more risk, and if u arent spectacular at what u do then that risk will bite u in the ass

Answer the question. I have 235 athletes for the week plus my regular business. With the athletes design the program based on positions, assess injured athletes and then design the pre-hab program based on the type of injury. Design the program based on soft-tissue work, activation, dynamic warm/mobility, core, plyos, speed (lateral/lineal). Were done with football till January. Right now it's baseball and soccer. Oh yeah, while you think it's so easy. We start speed camps back up for 40 kids in a couple of weeks......design that program as well. One other thing, all the programs MUST be designed with the reduction of injury in mine.....I'll be waiting.

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.
