Should you work for yourself?

Contrary to popular belief, people don't go into business for themselves
primarily to make money. While they do want to make money, their primary
source of motivation is freedom. This is especially true of those who have
experienced hard lessons learned from organizational bureaucracy and who
feel marginalized by unrealistic structure and incompetent leadership.
However, freedom, isn't free. One of the reasons that people often remain
in unhappy work environments is the willingness to accept unhappy
circumstances to avoid having to pay the price of freedom, whether the
choice is to find new more meaningful employment or to haunch out on the
their own in some form or fashion. So, in essence, it boils down to doing
things that many others have neither the courage nor the ability to do.

Next time: The price of freedom

Good day and good work,

Norman
