You get the ability to steer the direction of your life in any way you want, instead of working for the whims of others.
You also get to manage your own time and schedule.
Who wants to ask for permission to spend time with your loved ones?
Why should you start your own business instead of becoming an employee?
Well, being a business owner isn't for everyone.
But it may be exactly the change you need!
Let me give you some great reasons to quit your job and become self-employed.

You get the ability to steer the direction of your life in any way you want, instead of working for the whims of others.

Who wants to ask for permission to spend time with your loved ones?
In your own business, you get to do what excites you.
Not only does a passion make your job fulfilling, but it also unlocks hidden powers in you!
Why do you work?
❌ Because my boss wants this done by tomorrow.
✅ Because I love what I do!
Of course, wealth isn't everything.
But let's be real, it's important!
By freelancing, you can triple your income.
I take home more than $300K/y on consulting alone.
So can you 🔥
Combine that with selling products!
Only the sky is the limit.
Earned income (salary) is the type of income that is taxed the highest.
By being an employee, you're a 50/50 partner with the government.
By incorporating your business, you can lower taxes by reinvesting in assets such as stocks or property.
When you're representing your own business, you discover new motivation for enhancing your skills.
Sometimes you'll need to sell yourself on skills that you may not have yet.
It'll keep you on your toes, and will push you to get better 💪
The internet is a great place to start a business, and today, you can run a business entirely online.
This gives you the advantages of working from wherever you want.
You just need a computer and internet.
A regular job can become dreary, unsatisfying, and stressful, even if you started out with a passion.
In fact, alarmingly many state that "they hate their job".
Please, don't waste another second on something you hate!
Life is too short.

This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".
The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.
Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)
There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.
At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?
Imagine for a moment the most obscurantist, jargon-filled, po-mo article the politically correct academy might produce. Pure SJW nonsense. Got it? Chances are you're imagining something like the infamous "Feminist Glaciology" article from a few years back.https://t.co/NRaWNREBvR pic.twitter.com/qtSFBYY80S
