A LITTLE BIT ABOUT FEE-SHARE CONSULTANCY:
There is a lot to love about self-employment. You have the freedom to make your own choices and decisions. You can set your own hours, build your own investment (rather than somebody else’s) and never have to ask for time off for a holiday or family events. Of course, you don’t get paid when you go on holiday either, so there is definitely a balance that needs to be struck. Here a few financial benefits of being self-employed: want a raise? Either work harder, drum up more business, or both. With self-employment, you get to reap what you sow, which means your earning potential is only limited by your ideas and work ethic. This is huge, but also comes with a lot of responsibility, remember you only get paid for the work you actually do, not for simply showing up. Save money on commuting to and from work. You probably don’t consider how much time and money it costs actually travelling to work, because it’s become habit for you. Save money on clothing – again, while this isn’t true for all self-employed individuals, if you’re able to work from home you can save money throughout the year on clothing costs. Those working in a professional office atmosphere have to dress the part. Even if you don’t wear a suit every day, you’re still expected to look professional. Unlimited income potential – one of the greatest rewards of self-employment is the opportunity to make an unlimited amount of income. Unlike most jobs in the corporate world, your salary is never capped. You are in control of how much money you ultimately make.
