This morning, instead of hitting the gym and then starting work, I decided to go for a coffee.
I usually work seven days a week, and there are days where I work 16 hours straight.
But I can go to the gym whenever I want and I can take a 20 day holiday whenever I feel like it as long as I meet my deadlines and as long as I’m satisfied with the work I deliver.
Sometimes I lose clients, sometimes I fire clients and sometimes I don’t get enough projects which can be quite stressful.
I’d choose this over a regular job any time.
I choose what projects to take on, I choose which clients to work with, and I choose when to work.
I have freedom of choice. That’s why I don’t ever see myself working a nine-to-five as an employee.
