No boss. You make the rules and break them. But then again, if you’ve made them, why would you?- No commuting. Save money, time and boredom.
- Unlimited earning potential.
- Time off when you want it. I love taking a Thursday off.
- Freedom to set out your agenda. See above. Also, the ultimate in flexible hours. If you want to start at 5 am in summer because it’s cooler than the afternoon, you can.
- More time with the family (if you like them, that is).
- Everyday is dress down Friday. No suits, no ties, no matching clothes. In the summer, you can answer the phone stark naked if you fancy.
- No office politics.
- Take as many breaks as you like without the boss, supervisor or colleagues throwing you dirty looks. as long as the work gets done, does it matter?
- Live anywhere in the world. Have broadband, will travel.
- Greater variety of work. Doubled-edged sword, this one. You can get some really interesting stuff but also some really boring stuff.
- You can’t get the sack. You can lose clients of course for a variety of reasons but as long as you keep up the marketing, you get to keep your job.
- Learn more about money, or rather your money. You’ve really got to do the accounts now and keep that paperwork.
- Work in the garden (or in a pub, coffee house, park).
- Choose who you work with and for.
- Fewer expenses, more deductions. Save on lunches, claim more back against tax.
- Isolation (great if you’re a loner).
- Turn down work when you want to. If a job doesn’t take your fancy, just say no.
- Choose your environment. If you want to listen to Metallica at full blast, you can.
In the interest of fairness, there are down sides, here are some of them.
