I agree, I would love to work for myself, but I simply don’t have the contacts needed to get jobs in order to be able to guarantee I will have money to pay all my bills on time

I have to admit, you’ve provided some compelling arguments here. If my toddler is sick, i sure as heck am not going to work! But, at the same time, when i do stay at home (for a sick kid or not) i begin to miss what the office was created for in the first place. The creativity that is a byproduct of human interaction. Truth lies in within the collision of two truths. 1 person can never do what a team of people can.

It is for the exact reasons that you mentioned, I work for myself. It is nice to work when you want to and be able to be on the go if needed and not worry about attire or a boss.

I love this. Sooo true. I also have a toddler and being here is very important, even if I’m working and she’s just playing or watching the video beside me. Both me and my husband are working from home and we’re both loving it. We go to Starbucks in the morning when our daughter is in school and work there for 3 hours. The only difference is I have a boss that I work for although we just communicate online. Nice post!

It is great to work for yourself, although as for me one of the biggest downsides is that you are all by yourself. If you have an issue, you don’t have anybody to talk to about it. Also the only good ideas is your own, you don’t see any other people inputs.

Copywriting is I think a skill. Maybe it can be learned but there are really people who are born to be great in this subject, unfortunately, I am not one of those.

I absolutely love working for myself for a lot of the same reasons you do. I love the freedom, flexibility to work early or late, and even work at Starbucks if I so choose!
