About the money

Often people ask if it pays to be self-employed. I usually answer “Yes”, but not in the context in which they are asking. Because people ask from a financial perspective, where I happen to answer from a much more broad perspective.

So what is it about the money? How does it look? Well, some times the financial rewards are handsome, if there are loads of things to do. At other times there is almost no money at all. To use a rather tired metaphor, it’s a big roller coaster.

So what’s my perspective on the money? Am I in this for the money? No, not at all. I’m in this, because I enjoy the freedom and the opportunities for doing great things and develop myself personally that goes with it. As far as money is concerned, of course that bit is important too. Not to accumulate a lot of wealth but to generate the ability to choose that comes with having enough money for whatever you aspire to.
