The Challenge of Self-Employment

The ultimate challenge of self-employment is managing yourself.

*How effectively & efficiently you use your time
*Focus
*Determination, persistence and vision
*Self-confidence and how you come across with those you interact with
*Energy
*Knowledge
*Wearing many, many hats

I relish the challenge, and the freedom, and the opportunity. But, it isn't easy, and at times, it seems frightfully impossible. It takes immense faith and persistence to stay the course. And sacrifice.

And yet, I recommend it highly - if you have the stomach for it. The rewards can be immense.
