For those who already enjoy the perks of being self-employed, you may still find yourself not truly embracing the benefits you get to enjoy.

Whether you already own your own , or have been toying with the idea of turning your love of  into a full time job, I鈥檒l refresh your mind of the freedom and enjoyment you get to enjoy while being self-employed.

1. You鈥檙e Your Own Boss
   Well, you can鈥檛 say you didn鈥檛 see this one coming. It鈥檚 the one thing everyone gets excited about shortly after realizing self-employment is a viable option. Remember that overjoyed feeling you had when you just started out? What about the feeling of knowing you could make a living by pursuing your passion for children as a ?
   The best part has got to be that you control how your work is done. Of course, you want to make sure your client(s) are happy - but for the most part, how you finish the job is completely up to you.

2. You Enjoy More Variety
   As someone who is fully invested in growing your business and/or client list, you are constantly being challenged with finding new ways to get around this. Forget just carrying out a single task all day, your business depends on you and your ability to adapt and be creative. It鈥檚 great to know that your skills are continuously expanding as long as your business is.

3. Sick Day? No Problem!
   Of course it鈥檚 understood that a day you don鈥檛 work will usually mean a day without pay, but at least you can take the day off without having to go through various people or filling out tedious forms. Finally - you can enjoy your sick day without feeling guilty.

4. You Set Your Own Schedule
   As your own boss, you have the power to set the work hours that work best for you. Whether you prefer a fixed schedule or crave to mix it up with flexible hours, the choice is yours. This leaves you with a better work-life balance and an overall feeling of being in control of whatever ends up on your to-do list. Whether you enjoy walking dogs early in the morning, or students only on weekends, the choice is entirely yours.

5. You Choose Your Own Customers
   When you work as an employee, you usually have little say in choosing clients and end up working with pretty much anybody that comes through. If things go sour with a client now, it鈥檚 all on you since you鈥檙e the one in control. With our various marketplaces, you鈥檙e able to look at clients and get to know them before making any kind of commitment. Don鈥檛 really feel like someone is a good match for you? You鈥檙e in the driver鈥檚 seat since you get to choose who you鈥檒l provide services to.

Of course it鈥檚 only natural that a busy schedule and competing demands will sometimes get the best of you. No one said that running your own business such as a  or being an  will be easy, and at times you may even question how amazing your business really is. The truth, however, remains: self-employment is a wonderful option. Enjoy it.
