Work for Yourself vs Work for Others vs Others work for You
My father used to say that I can simply forget about making some serious money, unless I change my situation from "working for others" to "others working for me." Now, the most serious problem is that back in his days, the concept of "working for yourself" had a completely different meaning. Actually, when I think about it, I'm free to say it even didn't exist. The only two options available some 40 or 50 years ago were either you work for someone or you have some guys working for you. There was no middle ground, or maybe there was?
I work for myself by running an independent online radio. My partner also works for himself as a developer. However, at the same time, we work for others, as well. I work for our advertisers, who are paying our bills. My partner also works through his development company for his clients. And, we have a blog writer who works for us. So, the things have obviously become more complicated. There are so many modalities and options that it's making it impossible to find a pure category of work these days. You can be whatever you want or you need to be. You can be an employer or employee at the same time and even more than once.
So, is this is a good or a bad thing?
