Ever thought about working for yourself? It's not going to be easy, you know, because the boss you will be working for may well turn out to be the toughest boss you've ever had.
Yes, the boss will be you and as your own employee, you've got to be pretty sure that you fit well into his shoes. There won't be any easy sick days off work and no long lunches.
But there will be perpetual worries about balancing the budget and keeping your clients happy. Deadlines? Of course! You'll have lots of unpaid overtime work - in the evenings and possibly the weekends as well. And at times, you'll be living on plain bread and butter because you cannot afford the caviar.
But though it will be tough and often tiring, there are benefits and rewards as well. You can take risks (but make sure they are calculated risks), implement new systems or attempt innovations without having to convince a short-sighted boss. And when a project is done just right and the cash till rings, it's time for a well deserved celebration.
