An obvious benefit of self-employment is working whenever it’s most convenient. While it hasn’t happend overnight, I’ve slowly built my business to the point where I have full control of when I do and don’t work.
I have three girls at home (ages three, five, and seven) and I want to spend as much time with them as possible while they’re growing up. The older two are in schools that follow the traditional calendar and I’ve used it to intentionally spend more time with them.
Lately I’ve been comparing this to marriage. In marriage we are two individuals, obviously. Two individuals can get places. Two individuals working together as a team, however, can hardly be stopped!
