Having your own business

Why it rocks:

- You get to think about it all the time
- You can be as creative as you like in doing what you love
- People seek you out because you are an expert in your field.
- You are your own boss.
- You work when you can/want to work!
- You can give yourself a pay rise whenever you want.
- You get so much support from the community.
- People work around YOUR schedule.
- You always get love-emails in your inbox
- If you do good work, you are trusted and appreciated.
- You get to meet soooo many AMAZING and interesting people.
- You get to help so many people.
- You get to do what you love every single day.


Harder parts:

- You have to think about it all the time
- Your inbox is permanently full
- If you do bad work, your reputation is instantly destroyed and it takes a LOT to get it back.
- Demand always exceeds the product (At least in my case).
- Some customers can over step the professional boundary and you have to learn how to deal with that.
- Bad readings = yuck.
- You have to be professional at all times.
- You have to be good with the other aspects of business too, such as finances which isn't always the most fun thing ever.
- There is always a possibility that doing the thing you love every day, can, at times make it "work".
