Hi George, This has been discussed quite a few times, but a lot of those threads got sidetracked so let’s give it one more try 🙂 Pros You’re the decision maker. You decide when, how and with whom you work with.In most cases you can work from home. (Although this can be a con for some)If you know how to balance your work/personal life then you should have more time for your family & friends. I work about 4-5 hours a day.You decide your income. There’s this feast & famine myth, but if you’re smart about your business then you can build bridges over low points.Cons You have to push yourself. (You might wish to find a mentor or join some kind of group)You have to know how to sell your service. It can be difficult for introverts. (There are some great free and paid courses out there)You can’t really afford sick & vacation days which might cause you to burn out. (Find a backup)You have to wear 7 hats. I love my work, but I don’t like accounting, legal stuff etc. (Invest in assistants)
