Being your own boss gives you certain kinds of freedom.
First, you can now decide for yourself in which direction your work, and your life, go much more than under the constraint of a job.
Second, you can decide when you do your work and, of course, online you can work any hours you like. Especially, as your marketplace is global.
Third, you can decide where you want to work. Being online you could work at home, in an out-of-home office, at a cafe, outside. You’re also not limited by geographical area – you could be anywhere in the world, or even different places at different times. It really doesn’t matter where you are as long as you can get online.
Fourth, you can decide who you work with – online or off-line. Or work by yourself as long as you like. You can vary these, so that you may have got to the point of having local or outsourced staff but can still focus on the work you need to get done yourself, like product innovation.
Fifth, you can decide how you work, so that you organise your work place as you please. That would include how you keep your administration and computer arranged, to fit your circumstances and your business.
Sixth, and most important, you decide why you’re working. That is, what the long-term reasons, aims and purposes are for you and your business, as well as why you’re doing any particular task on any particular day. You’re the driver of what you’re doing.
Guess what, though. Everything is down to you – you get the freedom but also the responsibility.
