Why I work for myself

I have been working online from home seriously for nearly three years now, and I have seen my fair share of internet scams and ripoffs. Intermittently I have taken up jobs, mainly to get out of the house and have some direct human contact! Ultimately I am the kind of person who prefers to work for myself: as my brother famously put it, I do this so that I can choose who to work with. Suppose I have a really awkward customer who I find it impossible to work with. As an employee I just have to put up with it: as my own boss I can tell that client where to go! Of course any sole trader values their customers and generally treats them better than and employee would. But it is nice to know that I have that option! That freedom is worth a lot to me and it is why I continue to write posts to my blogs and do (boring) keyword research. However lonely things can get, I would rather be chained to my laptop for ten years than work another day in the jungle of office politics again.
