Ever since I started this whole online business and wanting to blog for money back in Early December, I didn’t know too far ahead of what I was doing. Well, the blogging thing has fallen through, but not all my online endeavors. They have since grown and expanded, and I am becoming a self-made entrepreneur. Just off of my freelance writing, if I were writing 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week, I would be making about 1500 - 2000 dollars a week. Of course, I wouldn’t dare work that much on writing, because I am just far too lazy. Haha. Thats one of the great things about being at the head of a company, or being self employed. It’s all about you! Be your own boss! Let me show you why I love it!
I get to make my own work schedule
I don’t have a paper schedule pinned to my wall telling me what days I need to be in the office and what time in the morning I need to get there. No bell goes off to tell me its break time, and I am not limited to just 2 breaks every 4 hours or however you people with an office job are suffering.
Instead, it is my watch and a very loose schedule. Most of my clients know this about me. They work with me, providing a very loose schedule, sometimes only telling me “No rush to get these articles, but whenever you have the time could you please write about _____ for me?” I can schedule 2 seconds before I am going to start writing. I can spend a sleepless night pumping out articles and working on developing graphics and other websites. I can take as many bathroom breaks, lunch and snack times, and nights out with my friends as I want without having to worry (too much) about a developed work schedule.
If I only want to work 1 hour a day (and that is about the average as of now), then I only have to work one hour a day. No more tedious 8 hour (or 14… yup I have had one of those) days for me. I take on as much work as I can handle for an hour a day and churn out the articles that need to get done the soonest (talking about my freelancing). Then I am done. I can go out, I can visit the beach or my supermodel girlfriend’s latest photo-shoot set, and enjoy the other 23 hours of the day.
Being my own boss has me freer than ever, giving me the time I need to do whatever I want while still gaining enough money to pay well more than the expenses I incur for daily life. That’s another great thing about being your own boss: It’s your prices and your terms. I think that will be a future post. Yeah, I think I just turned this into a series post.
