I think working for yourself doesn’t mean being completely independent of people, because in the end value always flows through people even if you trade or invest, you still depend on the market which is people driven to make profit. So to me working for yourself means having control over your time decisions and how you earn not necessarily being isolated from others or customer needs
Whatsoever it may be,so long as you can create you own income, decisions and opportunities,your success is dependent on your efforts, hardwork, choices and strategy, it's a responsibility that doesn't need to be second guessed.
