10 reasons I work for myself
Even with all the ups and downs of working for myself, I realize there are definite personality reasons why I must.
Here’s the evidence.
- I can’t do just one thing. These past few weeks I decided to blog, become a webwriter, start a new housecleaning routine, enroll my daughter in daycare, and optimize my website.
- I don’t get places on time. Imagine how well that works when I have a boss.
- I have a toddler. Who knows when I have to get up or when I get to bed.
- No boss standing over my shoulder.
- I like to work really late at night, or really early in the morning, depending on the day.
- Sometimes I like to work at Starbucks. Or the local park.
- I have a toddler. Did I mention that already? If she’s sick I’m right here.
- I can wear whatever I want.
- I can be loud, quiet, messy, neat, or whatever I want!
- I think I can do a better job than everyone. So I’m putting my money where my mouth is!

Very inspirational blog! Thank you for sharing your talent! Hugs!
Excellent post. Really as a home worker, I enjoyed your post and your each and every point is true!
Theres nothing better than working from home, as long as you stay on track and dont get lazy its great
Dear Theda K,
Good for you! I am working my way towards the same path right now.
The reasons that I am going towards the work at home blogging lifestyle are a little bit different. I know that I can work for other people. I know that sometimes I can be fantastic in a group and that I can help benefit others in what they do. I can be a real team player.
But will it benefit enough people?
If I only benefit my co-workers and any customers, will I truly be helping enough people?
I decided that the answer is no. Thusly, I am going to find a way to help hundreds if not thousands a day, but using my team player attitude on the web.
Here’s to hoping :).
Sincerely,
Bryan

Hi
I agree, I would rather work for myself than someone else. Currently I do work for someone else, but I find that all my hardwork and talent are wasted on a cold fortune 500 company.
If I worked for myself, I could make changes and I think I would be more motivated.
Currently I am building a creative writing website, my goal is to one day have that support me while I pursue my writing career.
Congrats that you are able to work at home and raise your toddler, that is quite a goal.
