Busting the Solopreneur Myth
Why a Steady Job is Just The Ticket
The current trend all over social media is people pushing the idea of ‘solopreneur’.
Or a side hustle.
Or to quit and do something you love.
But it’s not for everyone. I’d even go as far as to say it’s not for most people.
And there’s nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with having a steady job with a regular income.
Running your own business is tough. Very tough. A lot harder than people let on.
Most people fail.
It can take years of hard work and little income to make it.
Even then, you might still fail.
I ran a business. I went back to having a job. A job that I enjoy.
Yes, I can’t just decide to have a day off. Or a week.
But when it’s your own business, you’re never off the clock. Even on vacation. you’re checking emails, messages and whatnot.
And you’re not your own boss, despite what people say. Your clients are your boss. When they say jump, what do you do? Tell them to get lost? Or jump?
You know the answer.
