self employed buisness in a nutshell today.
Great pay, but largely un-reliable. My model united nations event was cancelled due to a chinese festival. thats 30% of the income I expected from today gone..
Running a business has just been a huge shift in mindset. The rewards are huge, but the drawbacks are also there.. Only people I would recommend it to, are those like me who just on principle dislike working for others, and put a huge value on achieving things yourself. Or those who work in a field where self-employment is the only entry point.
Otherwise its probably not worth it.. at least for 90% of people never become super rich.
Still, look on the bright side - on track to hit my savings goal for this month, and buisness is building nicely ready for the peak summer season. We are currently expanding with a new partner into educational holidays in england.. so thats giving me plenty to work on when I am not doing my regular contracts.
