| Self Employed- "Boy, I sure would love to be able to check that box on questionnaires. It would be so great to own my own business. I could make my own hours, be my own boss, not have to answer to anybody, spend time with my family, and get all those great tax deductions." Who hasn't heard that same thought or had it themselves? The American Dream, right? Well, in some ways, yes, being self employed allows you to make the call, but also holds you responsible for the call! We are a quirky, motivated, mostly driven, sometimes lazy bunch. Most of us that are self employed cannot imagine going back to a life working for someone else. There is something quite special about owning your own business. Despite the long hours, pressures, and responsibilities, there is a great satisfaction and joy knowing that you are directly responsible for your success. Your reward, whether it be financial or recognition, will be directly proportional to your efforts (usually). Self Employed Parents take it to the next level. Let's take all that responsibility of our business and add one, two (or more!) kids to the mix! What could be more fun? Well, we have been there, done that, and are still doing it. We searched to find a community of business owners that understood not only our concerns about our business, but those of our family as well and could not find one. So, being the self employed entrepreneurial types, we created our own! For those who are self employed parents, the tabs to the left are links to professions where you'll find answers to questions about taxes, health care, payroll, childcare, advertising, marketing and more. Plus you'll be able to connect through our message board with people in your field and find new strategies and helpful hints. Most importantly, find ways to keep your family life balanced with your business world. Raising happy and healthy children is our common goal and here will be given the attention it deserves. For those who are looking at becoming self employed, here you'll find the inside scoop to help make an educated decision about whether self employment is for you and your family. |
