since college i am running my own business and after graduating i never look for a job instead i focus more on my business and i must say that it is going well. one thing i love in being self employed is you do not have a boss who is telling you do this do that not that not this and you get to enjoy your time you can watch tv while working eat in every time you want i so love being self employed =) hoe bout you guys? what made you love your work?

I've never been self employed, but I always wanted to be. I did do some work on my own.. but not really had a business. I always wanted to have a nursing agency, but never knew how to go about it.

I'm still in school, but I plan on being self employed by the time I graduate. I want to be a writer, so by freelancing I'm sort of my own boss! :)

That sounds great. You are very fortunate. Nobody bosses you and you can manage your own time as you wish. I have been thinking about setting up my own business too, for quite some time now, but haven't got there yet. But, I am looking forward to that. Good luck to you !

I am too being very love self employed but it does not work well in reality right now. I am only getting $50 every month. Its hard when it does not work well after you have spend so much time and effort on the computer. What I do now is I treat this online job as part time job while I go out and look for another part time job. I could not secure myself with only one part time job.

I am not self employed but I would love to be so I didn't have to listen to annoying bosses anymore and having to worry if I am late or I didn't reach my numbers it is all a numbers game where I worked and have worked for a long time and I am so sick of it that's why I am home today, I just wanted a break away from the place where I work everything is so unfair there and the pay is not good at all! It is great that you love what you to congratulations!!

yes, the reason of self employed is that Iam making my own money how I like it and nobody is telling me how to work and when I have to work.

I love being self employed, too. Working for myself means that if I don't feel well or if I'm tired, I can sleep in. I can work when my brain is the most creative, not when the clock tells me I have to. If I get inspired, I can work long into the night - or not. I would hate to have to get up every morning, get dressed and out the door to spend the day doing someone else's work.

What make me love my work... I can spend more time with myself, family, dogs :D and... chance to make another work. OK, so do you have things that you hate by being self employed?
