Pretty simple really. The standard definition of the work week. 9-5. Get up in the morning, go to work then come home. Until you’re 65, then retire.
Sounds easy enough. Sounds absolutely horrifying if you hate your job, 40 hours can be an eternity.
40 hours when you’re self employed isn’t enough. There’s no clocking out at 5pm and not having to give a shit until the next morning. In busy times, like I am very deep in currently don’t seem to end. This blog post is getting typed at 9pm on a Thursday night as I’m nearing the end of a nice little 14 hour stretch.
Last Saturday was pretty much a full day of work which can be a little tricky when it comes to making a vlog but here it is
Sunday the sun was out and there were a few small waves around. The wind was also up a lot more than we realised
So why be self employed? Why sign up to the well over 40 hours a week grind? To me it makes me feel a little less plugged in. Not part of the “system” and boy oh boy is it rewarding! I will take it over pretty much anything.
Good luck searching for your 40+
See you at the beach!
