Only post here if you work for yourself!
Hi,
I do indeed work for myself. I have been doing this for about 7 months. I've got an insurance gig that pays commission only. I have had a lot of ups and downs in this business. (My last insurance gig practically bankrupted me). But things seem to be doing much better for me.
Now this is the first time in my life where I've actually worked for myself. I really do set my own hours -and if I don't want to deal with a customer then I really don't have to deal with a customer. (I consider it professional to deal with all customers unless they seem overly litigious).
Before I was an insurance agent -I was an engineer. I worked for a large telecomunications company -developing technology for the man and collecting my (previously large) paychecks every week. Now I only get a large paycheck if I am lucky... (There are people who work for my company that get very large paychecks).
So what is your background working for yourself? Did you struggle? How did you adapt from working for someone else to working for yourself?
