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
Yes, you’re right with your point of view,working forself doesn’t mean being isolated from people or completely independent on your own because the clients are your market target,you need them for the market to thrives,as such you solely depend on them for market value and profits maximization.
To me working forself is you been incharge of the market,in terms of time management,paying yourself salary and making some wise decisions which will gear or move the business forward.
