Otherwise our children will starve to death. were such pussies , aren't we? You may need to be an employee today, but you don't have to STAY an employee forever. Being an employee is more of a "comfort zone" than anything. It's fucking scary as fuck to step out of that realm and start risking shit on a business idea. I understand that because I did it. I know exactly how scary that shit is - ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS! Nothing says you have to do it all at once. Start a side business and work it part time - that's what I did. At some point, if it works, you'll start making more money with it than you are at your job and you'll reach the point where you see that working for another man is a waste of your time and is actually COSTING YOU. Then, you'll know it's time to make the switch. Assets feed you, liabilities eat you. |

I seek opportunity-not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen,humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk;To dream and to build;To fail and succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence;The thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia. Quoting: BRIEF AND TO THE POINT Will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect,proud and unafraid;To think and act for myself;To enjoy the benefits of my creations;And to face the world boldly and say,this I have done. All this is what it means to be self-employed. thanks brother, needed that this day . one love |

All this is what it means to be self-employed. Suggested a pin. Dead on, and righteously, eloquently put. Being self-employed taught me to persevere even through the most difficult of times. Being self-employed is the epitome of being free and being fearless even when you are terrified. Kudos and thank you. |

| beeches User ID: 28167778 03/28/2013 05:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 42 years remodeling homes and businesses and still working. Wouldn't have it any other way. Seldom hire anyone to help. Crawled under an old ranch house yesterday to replace a non-draining pipe, feels good to still do "hard" work. I trade the checks for lawful money at the bank and nobody takes any for taxes. Learn any and all the trades if you want security. Quoting: ossbogosley Great advice. There is so much to be said for being able to DO things. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15 |

All this is what it means to be self-employed. I mostly agree with the above, but the bit about face the world is a bit over the top. I don't really give a damn about the world. If it was empty, I'd do exactly what I'm doing. There's no need to announce to ANYONE what I have done. I know that already. |
