Disadvantages Of Being Self Employed

 

 Responsibilities

 

When you head a business venture, you naturally have more responsibilities to take care of. The level of stress and tension is comparatively way too high in self employment. This becomes all the more evident in case of one-man show, wherein everything which happens is that person’s responsibility. This can make you feel a bit burdened and weighed down. Ideally, self employment is not for ones who can’t handle their own work and responsibilities.

 Timing Conflicts

 

We had mentioned the freedom that you may possess in choosing your own work schedule and timings. But will it really come into effect, if your clients are working on fixed schedules or you are behind schedules? Putting in extra hours without getting any overtime can really be messy and stressful. It will hurt more if you have a family, which you can’t give much time or if you have best of buddies who might think you are ditching them.

 

 Illusion OfControl.In some cases, getting the total control of the business reduces to just an illusion. You may have loaned the capital or may be your venture started off with a financer’s help. Now, for better output from their investment, these people would try to maintain a vigil on your advances and interfere in company control.

 

 Taking The Fall.The biggest and most fearsome risk is failure. If your venture fails, you must be ready to take the fall. The company can decide the course of your career and in some really bad cases, even your future. Some financiers can really strangle you and some business failures can literally leave you bankrupt. Whatever is the case, you must always be ready for failure. Do not expect failure at all times, but be ready to accept failure any time.
