How would you explain the concept of "working for yourself" to someone like me who has no concept of work outside of 9-5 working for someone else? Is it a self-image issue?

You've never worked for anybody else but yourself anon.

Working in a 9-5 is just selling your services to an exclusive customer on relatively restrictive terms.

Being 'self-employed' is selling goods/services to any number of customers on various terms.

Also please stop posting that awful caption. Its triggering me.

It suggests that entrepreneurship means doing shit you don't like for a large and relatively quick reward and then getting out.

People who fall under that definition are porn stars, drug dealers and robbers. Meanwhile people who actually go into business with something they find fulfillment in are not entrepreneurs.

"working for yourself" just means directly providing your goods or services to the public, with no boss and no ownership. It's just you.

A man on the corner selling water for $2.00 is working for himself
A maid who offers her services on craigslist is working for herself
A lawyer who has his own LLC and just sells his legal services to the public is working for himself

I have worked for other people and I have worked for myself. There is NOTHING like being your own boss. Even if you shovel shit. working for yourself is much much better than being an employee, I really cannot stress just how liberating it is.
