Many people would like to go free-flying and start working for themselves, but they are stopped by the fear of uncertainty and instability. And disbelief in yourself, in your strength, in your knowledge and skills. As a result, when a person is left without work, he, most often, begins to look for another job, driving away from himself all thoughts of working for himself. But in vain! Today I want to describe to you several reasons why working for yourself is much better and more interesting.
Seven Obvious Benefits of Working for Yourself
1. You earn around the clock.
Yes, exchanging your time and labor for money by getting a well-paid job is not bad. But not entirely reasonable. After all, at work you are paid money only for your "work-hours", only when you work. Have you ever thought that it is much more interesting, more useful and better to get money even when you are not working? Imagine how nice it would be to receive income around the clock!
You are at work more than 40 hours a week, but this fact does not bother anyone. Every employer cares about the value and importance of what they receive in the process of your work, and they pay you for it. So many people not only spend most of their lives at work, but also take work home. And the conclusion suggests itself that exchanging your time for money is not the best (and far from the most profitable) way to earn money. And there are better ways when the value you produce is separated from the cost of your time. This can be fees for creative work (for example, freelancing), investing in something (stocks, real estate, stock exchanges), income from the implementation of your inventions, creating a website or an online store.
By launching your earning system, you will no longer exchange time for money. Your system will work autonomously bringing you some income and from now on, most of your time will be spent on increasing your income by improving and developing your system or launching new systems.
2. All income is yours.
When working for your uncle, you need to produce so much value that you will not only cover your salary and taxes, but also bring a good income to the owners of the enterprise where you work. And it turns out that in hired work you are paid only a certain part of the money from the value you have produced. Yes, you yourself understand that your real salary can be (and should be) several times higher. However, you will never get most of this money. When you work for yourself, all income is yours.
In general, in my opinion, it is quite difficult to live on some kind of modest, fixed wage. I even did some calculations, read the article on this topic
3. You regulate your income yourself.
When you work for someone else, you cannot increase your income on your own. In order for you to increase your salary, you will need to talk with your superiors and prove the validity of your requirements. In this case, it is unlikely that you will receive an answer that will completely satisfy you. And in your created income system, you can decide and regulate how much and when you should receive money.
4. Be your own boss.
In hired work, you are always supervised by a supervisor or owner. And what happens when you do not want to follow someone's commands and obey someone else's will? It depresses you, upsets you, humiliates you, and so on. For many of you, such work is clearly not a pleasure and sometimes even causes outright protest. When you work for yourself, there are no bosses and directors over you. For me, this was the main deciding factor in favor of working for myself. I am a leader by nature and always have my own opinion on everything, so it is difficult for me to obey, especially to fulfill any requirements that do not correspond to my inner world and upbringing.
5. You get a lot of useful knowledge.
People get some experience when they get a job. But, it should be noted that we get some experience, regardless of the availability of work. Any job gives only a specific experience of this particular job. Yes, at the beginning you will learn a lot of new things, but then everything will move without much change. And because of this, you can miss out on many other opportunities, maybe even more important and valuable ones. What kind of experience would you like to have? Do you want to know how to do a certain job well in exchange for your time? Or, after all, you want to learn how to achieve financial independence so that you no longer need to work for hire.
6. You can define your social circle and freedom of movement.
When you constantly work in a certain structure, you have to communicate with colleagues at work, regardless of whether you like these people or not. In addition, each company has its own corporate culture, which imposes certain restrictions and requirements on you. The question is, do you agree to be in such dependence? When working for yourself, you not only get to choose your social circle, but also have freedom of movement. Agree, when you sit in the office from 8 to 17, as if tied, it is very, very uncomfortable. It is much more pleasant to have freedom of choice, freedom of movement, do what you like and live for your own pleasure.
7. Stay safe.
Many people believe that working for someone else is the safest and most reliable way to support yourself and your family. After all, there is a stable salary that can be calculated and planned. And, in a way, there is confidence in the future. But one can argue with this how much stability and security can be felt in our society, when at any moment you can lose your job, and, at the same time, your main and “stable” source of income. When you are an employee, you are not in control of the situation and therefore cannot feel safe. But working for yourself, you can keep everything under control and manage the situation!
So, we conclude:
If this article was useful for you, and you want to tell your friends about it, click on the buttons. Thank you very much! Do you know why you are reading these lines now? Because you want to understand something, to understand something, to learn, to get answers to your questions. This is what usually leads a person to a psychologist's website. And, since you have not come to a psychologist personally, it means that at this stage you want to study yourself and the world around you on your own. And I understand you perfectly!
I also love working with myself. I first try all new techniques on myself, and only after that I decide whether I will use them in my work with clients or not. And sometimes I do it just for fun :) Because getting to know yourself is a process that, it seems to me, can continue indefinitely.
Benefits of self-study
Each person is an amazing combination of various facets and depths, which, moreover, tend to transform and change. We can always discover something interesting, new, previously unknown in ourselves.
With regular work with ourselves, we begin to discover new aspects of the facts we already know. I think this is even more interesting. Every time it's a new level. It seems that you know everything, you understand, but suddenly the understanding becomes deeper, and new, completely different meanings open up. And completely different perspectives. And you move to some new level of development, perception of the world, awareness.
And more insights! I can't pass by without talking about them! Do you know this amazing feeling of enlightenment? When you want to exclaim “Here it is! Exactly! I understood everything! ”, When you are surprised that the answer was nearby, lying on the surface, but for some reason you didn’t notice it, but then you suddenly saw it! When something suddenly clicked in my head, and understanding, awareness came, the puzzle was formed! It's great, right?
Cons of self-study
There is one big pitfall here. Especially often it is faced by novice researchers of themselves, but experienced ones also sometimes run into it during their travels. This stone is called "resistance".
Here are just a few of its manifestations: a phone call during the execution of the technique, to which for some reason you decide to answer (and you could not answer and just call back later), the feeling that the question from the exercise being performed has nothing to do with you at all, an acute desire check your mail or refresh your social media page right now, accompanied by a thought like “I’ll check it quickly and continue with the technique.” It's all resistance. And it is not easy to overcome it on your own, for this you need a certain skill. But even having a skill does not guarantee that you can handle it.
This is neither bad nor good, it's just a fact that must be taken into account when working independently. And the more you practice, the easier you will be able to recognize resistance and get around its traps. But it is unlikely that you will ever be able to completely get rid of resistance.
In addition to this pitfall, it is important to remember one more minus. No matter how great our desire and experience, self-exploration will never replace a full-fledged session with a psychologist or coach. Working in tandem with a specialist always turns out to be much deeper and more effective. And this fact also needs to be accepted. Among psychologists, there is even a saying that a psychologist to himself is like a dentist to himself. Therefore, when working with yourself, it is important to remember that in some cases it is better to entrust the work to a specialist.
And still…
And yet, as I said at the beginning of this article, I also like to work with myself. And, as many already know, I have a great tool that is the best suited for independent work - metaphorical associative maps (MAC).
Anyone who loves MAK as much as I do, and who is ready to go on an exciting journey deep into himself, I invite you to MAK gatherings. MAK gatherings are a series of webinars, each of which is completely independent. You do not have to attend all webinars, you can choose only those topics that resonate with you.
The author of the idea and the host is me, Valeria Alekseeva. After registering for MAK Gatherings, you will receive information about new topics of the webinars, the date and time of the event, and, of course, a link to enter the webinars.
Participation in gatherings is free, but I warn you right away: there will be no records in the public domain. We will work only online, at each webinar there will be a deep author's technique on the chosen topic. Everything I like: a minimum of theory and a maximum of practice, discoveries and insights! If you love it too, then poppy gatherings are for you! You can register for MAK gatherings. And I'll be glad to see everyone
