The dream job is when you feel like you never have to work a day in your life, when you enjoy what you do so much, that it doesn't feel like work. This is what all of us strive for when making the decision to call ourselves the boss.
Everything sounds good, and you are ready to go when jumping into working for yourself. One thing that is easy to overlook is, double checking that list of the highs and lows that come when you make the decision to sign your own checks.
Highs
You are the boss
In charge of your own pay
Pick and Choose who you work with and for
Lows
It's only you and all on your shoulders
Working with difficult clients, customers not paying etc.
Struggling to get your next paycheck
There are so many different pluses and negatives when it comes to working for yourself, but the biggest plus is that you are in control of your life, finances, etc. With that control, comes a ton of responsibility. The best way to put yourself in the position to succeed is to constantly learn, network with other entrepreneurs, and find a mentor who has been there and done that.
If you put yourself in the position to continually learn and stay on top of your goals, all the lows of owning your own business will surely get less and less.
