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
Your right working for yourself doesn't mean that will be independent of others because everyone is connected you need others to succeed in what ever that you do because you working for yourself means that you have to create value so that others can buy into it that is how wealth is really created
Working for yourself means that you will have to be creative and think about something unique that you will have to offer
