What I like about having my own business:
1. NO VACCINE! 😃 Literally the reason why I started lol
2. I get to work whenever I want, with who I want, wherever I want.
So no more:
Envious/passive aggressive coworkers
Micromanaging
Pretending to work
3. People treat me with more respect.
4. Paid by project > hours.
What I don't like
1. Cheap/Retard ass clients
2. Taxes are a pain!
3. Prospecting - constantly sending proposals, getting ghosted and following up with leads can be a pain.
@basedbagel any tips for newbies who want to start a business?
Just a few off the top of my head:
1. BEST resource start your company step-by-step (in USA):
llcuniverstiy.com
2. Keep your costs as low as you can until you're making $$.
My startup costs were about $500
3. Find a way to charge monthly because getting new clients is a hassle.
4. COMMIT. It took me about >350 proposals to get my 1st client.
5. Don't tell anyone about your biz when your start. People hate on what they don't understand.
Good luck!
