I have had a few jobs in the past but now I work for myself mostly doing stuff online. I decided after a while that the only way to go for me was to work for myself. I have four different online income streams including ebay, financial market trading and online marketing. I sometimes find myself working much longer hours than I ever did for a boss, but I don;t even see it as "work". It's just me doing my thing and getting paid.
Here's the theory: you get up in the morning and put in a whole days worth of energy - every day- to make money for someone else. sure you get paid for your efforts, but it's usually only a small cut of what you have actually earned in that day. It has to be that way in order for your job to exist at all.
Now, if you go ahead and put the same amount of energy into doing your own thing to make money, you are going to make a lot more.
The excuse people make is that they have to pay bills right now and need a job that is sure to pay.
Here's some news for you NO JOB IS SURE TO PAY. So you can go to work in an office taking calls or in a factory doing some repetitive task, and get $300 for the whole week, or you could go out, get a lump of clay, make a funky shape out of it, then sell it for $3000.
If you cant make clay models but you're good at cooking then you can hire yourself out as a private chef for $100 an hour. If you cant cook but are good at coding websites then you can offer your services at a competitive rate to companies. You'll have to promote yourself to achieve any of this but you cant promote yourself while stuck in the factory/workshop/office taking orders from someone else.
Think about it.
