Being on call all the time is hard. Owning the business is also hard. You never get a vacation and when you do you worry about what is going on with your company.\nIf you work for someone when you leave the office you leave all the "work" stuff at the door and do not worry about it until the next day. When you own the company you have it all the time 24/7 and if it is a family business that means your are with your family 24/7 at work and home. It makes it hard to seterate out work stuff from home stuff.\nSometimes stuff at work spills over to stuff at home and vise versa. It is hard to keep things going.\nWe have worked out a balance we take some time off and let an employee answer the calls and we make time to do things we want to do. Nothing gets into our time and we stick to that rule. It has helped us.

I am a financial planner. The hours are long and yes, it is very difficult to acquire new clients. Most job opportunities are commission-only. If you do not go into this field with a sales mindset, you are not likely to make a great deal of money.\nI love what I do, and if I measure success in terms of how I have helped people, I am very successful indeed. But because I am not aggressive, not a sales-orientated person, and not willing to work 70 hours per week, I am not making as much money as I did before.

I hear you. I see a lot of askers here at Yahoo Answers posting questions on how they can make money fast with little effort. Even in my website, we get a lot of questions from visitors asking us to tell them what is the best business that can make them earn a lot preferably for short period of time.\n\nNo wonder that many fall prey to get-rich-quick scams. Many people are looking for a shortcut; they do not want to work hard at it. They want money -- NOW -- but they do not want to sweat for it. \n\nI always believe that there will be no scammers if there are no suckers. Unfortunately, there are many -- so bizopp scams are here to stay. Sweat equity can give you sweet rewards at the end. Hard work, plus determination, patience and little bit of luck are still what makes a successful entrepreneur.

Not all bosses are like that.  Sometimes they need to be though because if someone who works for them screws up, they get into trouble with their boss or if it is their business they endure financial hardship because of the person's screw up.  Essentially, it is their job to make sure things are done right and if they have incompetent people working for them, things are frequently done wrong.

web design, there are a couple of companies that work that way. its very hard to get a steady income over the internet, because its hard to tell when your actually working, and when youre just saying you are

Its not really a choice for a lot of people. Some companies hire large numbers of part time employees (see: UPS) because under federal and state law, they are under no obligation to provide benefits to these employees.\n\nIf they are full time, the companies have to provide benefits, which cut into their profit margin.

Some people are dubious as to wether or not they are actually homeless or actualy have a BMW parked round the corner and are doing this as a way of making loads of money.  Other people think that they should get a job and make money that way.  My personal opinion...I don't always give money, but most of the time I do, esp if they are selling the Big Issue, it shows that they have the get up and go to actually do something and try and make something of their lives.  I'm also a sucker for animals, so if they have a dog with them I give something, even though deep down I know it's probably gonna be spent on beer rather than pedigree chum! ;)

there is no easy money earning, you have to work for it, if it was easy, everybody would be doing it... think about it.

Plus, you will be on much more headache!!! The other way might be SMC. I'm not sure if you have heard of it or not. Well, I will tell you about this in brief. Here, you have to sell the products in cheaper prices rather than retail prices. The company provides you the copy of the products that they want you to sale and you got to sale that product. That's just it! Seems simple, but, guess what, takes 10-20 hrs per day to get the money that you really want and I am not even sure about whether you can make good money through it or not!

I had a friend who worked for them and made okay money. It all depends on how much you sell, so it is feasible that you make that much...although I wouldn't count on it right off.

In many industries that is common practice.  In accounting, medicine, graphic arts, and law it is almost expected that you will get your experience and then move on either to a better paying job or to start your own business.  If an employer is really interested in keeping you, they will make you a partner or offer some other form of incentive to keep you from hanging out your own shingle.  But it doesn't come as any surprise that you would do this.  \n\nAlso, many companies are started by former employees who see a better way to service customer or a more efficient way to run a business, and the employer wouldn't listen or take their advice or treated the employee badly.  That is what forms a competitive business market and it is not only fair, but it's good for the marketplace.

It's awesome to be your own boss, decide when you want to work, decide when you don't want to work.  I think the best thing for me is just the flexibility having my own small business gives me.  Also at the same time you control the amount you make by the amount you put into the business.

It's really difficult - a lot of hard work and late nights.  I have a website and sell on ebay.  I make enough money to survive, but hopefully that will get better.  Do your homework, learn a few things about business and prepare to work very hard.

It is fairly simple. But, most people don't understand it because society has taught them you need to get a good education and work really hard. While this may get you a good job, you will be restricted to only making as much money as your salary will allow. \n\n  IT'S ALL ABOUT CREATING CASH STREAMS. You need to be your own boss. And make your MONEY work for you. Whether it be in stocks, real estate, owning your own business, selling information, etc. Focus on things, that once started, will bring you cash over and over with little to no work on your part.

The world of self-employment is one of the most challenging, demanding and even harrowing things that you can do. But for the right individual, it can also be personally and financially rewarding. Self-employment is the ticket to higher earnings without limit and the right to control and work your own schedule. But it's not easy work. A lot of self-employed people are working longer hours and weeks than ever. The difference is that they are doing work they truly enjoy, and are getting paid for it!\n\nIt depends on your economic goals - whether you want to increase income, replace income or augment family income\n\nIt also depends on your retirement goals - if you think self employment can do a better job of ensuring your future and making sure that you have money for retirement \n\nIt also depends on personal goals - for some, self employment is not just about money. Rather, it gives them the lifestyle they want - a retiree who wants to pursue their passion and turn it into a business; a stay at home mom who wants to earn money while being with kids, etc.
