I think far too many have been conditioned to think 9-5 Monday through Friday is a requirement and are like a flea in a jar with the lid removed. IMO being self-employed means you work when you wish and as often as you wish. I remember being berated on one of the trashy face book groups, all Facebook appraisal groups are white trash is you ask me but that’s another topic. Anyway, I mentioned seeing a property on a weekend and you would have thought I robbed a bank. There are some weekends I feel like working, maybe 2 hours, maybe 8 hours, it’s up to me. Some days I start writing reports at 5 AM. There are some Tuesdays and Wednesdays I don’t hit a lick. It’s called freedom. I can relate to the surly tenant in the George Thorogood song “One bourbon, One Scotch and One beer”
The landlady said, "You got the rent money yet?"
I said, "No, can't find no job
Therefore, I ain't got no money to pay the rent"
She said, "I don't believe you're tryin' to find no job"
Said, "I seen you today, you were standin' on a corner
Leaning up against a post"
I said, "But I'm tired
Self employment means I choose when I’m tired or energetic.
