Okay, damnit.
I have nothing against entrepreneurship (or "solopreneurship"), but good gawd, let& #39;s stop the common lies that surround it.

LIE.
If you make money, the source of your money (your clients) is your boss. That boss might not wear a suit and tie and occupy an office down the hall, but you absolutely have a boss.

Maybe. Depending on the type of business you run, you might have more control over your time to some degree.
To some degree, but you don& #39;t have anywhere near complete control...as goes the implication.
Next.
Bull. In fact, you& #39;re more likely to think about your work after hours because YOU are the only one responsible for doing it.
Next.
Again, maybe. If you& #39;re a good salesperson, then it& #39;s possible. But, 9-5ers can also make damn good money too by making some of the exact same choices as entrepreneurs make.
It& #39;s tougher than you think.
Next.
No, just your clients. The direct sources of your income.
Next.
Lie. In fact, you have far *more* performance reviews as an entrepreneur than you would as a 9-5er. You& #39;re being reviewed all the time. Only this time, if you don& #39;t perform, your salary decreases.
Another lie. I retired at 35 after working 9-5 jobs. Never started a business. No real side hustles. Nothing but that job.
In the end, entrepreneurship is a great option for many people.
If you are good at what you do, you can make a lot of money. But, it& #39;s not easy.
YOU are the sales dept. The marketing dept. Customer service. Legal. Accounting. HR.
If it works for you, great! But, working 3 hours a day and making millions is the exception.
You know it.
