If business owners, taxi owners, hotel owners and others who claim to be working for themselves need to depend on customers and customer satisfaction for profit, that is to be able to get money from them, are they really working for themselves?
Maybe the people who are actually working for themselves are those who do not need people or to satisfy any customer to make profit, example like the traders who do not need to lure customers to their shop like business owners or hotel owners, or taxi owner that need to follow instructions from their clients etc.
What could be the real definition of working for yourself?
Working for one self means self dependency and reliances that don't require external control of how the affairs of your business is controlled, you decide, you mastermind and control everything be it a hotel, car driving etc . Working for your self means working at your convenience without fear of any person. working for your self can also be assumed to be self employed where you make production of a particular goods and services and people fully depend on you for survival and employment. When u work for your self you are just a CEO meaning chief executive officer that has the power to access, appoint, approve and disapprove any time without objection from any.
