To be or not to be your own boss
It is true that for many people, the idea of being your own boss is appealing. The initial
benefits are obvious. You no longer need to be governed by
nine-to-five working. You no longer need to accommodate trips to the dentist or afternoons on the beach! You are no longer victim to
job security as you, and you alone, are manning the business and nobody is going to be challenging your
conclusion to the top job! There are no gossiping
co-workers to contend with or to distract you from your work, and no endless memos asking you to attend meaningless meetings. Your
job satisfaction is high because you are choosing your own direction, and your achievements are entirely the result of your own hard work. In addition, business profits are your own to bank or to spend. You decide.
However, the
drawbacks are just as obvious. There is no team to support you when things take a turn for the worse, and no colleagues to listen to problems or help with difficult decision-making. There is no contract to guarantee
benefits so from month to month you will sink or swim in accordance with your own talents and determination. Lastly, if the stress of working on your own makes you ill, there is no
sick pay to help you through difficult times.
In
doubt, being your own boss may have many advantages which offer an individual more freedom of choice. However, without
office politics, working for yourself requires a great deal of self-discipline and self-reliance. Personally, I would prefer the support and security of working for a company.
