I started my business in 2015. Absolutely zero regrets. Hi's, low's and everything in between. Started with a bucket and now I'm about to franchise my IT ON!!

1st year of self employment. Being able to cut out and go skate or work from the beach or take a day off whenever I want is great. But damn the stress is real when there’s a slow month. Staying motivated during the lulls has been a challenge. Great video!

I'm a freelance programmer and for me the #1 advantage is not having to spend my days inside an office, working from wherever I want is what I enjoy the most.

As a small business owner in metro Detroit, the best way to get a job, is to make a job. It’s not all fun and games. Work hours 60+ a week, and you need to be able to deal with rejection, also learn from your mistakes.

Loved this!! You’re killing it with Fortune. What you’re doing is so cool. Keep it up Brett! Looking forward to hanging in NYC soon :)

I'm a musician, the whole peace of mind of money would be great but then getting that big payment after a load of hardwork, early mornings, late nights, as you said Brett is a GREAT feeling!

I love my hometown NYC and miss the pre-Covid lifestyle at night.

Solid video! Just got back from a client job and they themselves told me I need to charge more which has me thinking. Finding that sweet spot between working less and charging more is a sweet science, indeed. Your vids got me bossing up for sure but now it's time to get more financially literate! Loving the journey, Brett!

[shannonjamison]

Brett you truly inspire me. Im only 13, and you made me want to move to NYC to pursue my passion! Keep it up homie!

*the first step you said, always working is already me so I've realized what's the point in going back to being an employee, you bust your ass for someone else. you're not allowed to think or make solutions really, your kind of a robot. But yeah I'm def feeling the no steady paycheck, it's a ride I've got to get used to but FREEDOM and creating and happiness is always worth it!!*

[valeria-militiamessalina]

The anxiety would kill me, but I realize it’s different for everyone, one has to be that kind of person, making a lot of money would alleviate that feeling too.

Love being self employed. I sometimes act as a service provider in the cruise industry, since I'm a former Cruise Director and manage to score a solid schedule which keeps ranking in the money, not to mention working evenings remotely on other projects. The beginning was a struggle but once you're in the lifestyle of self-employed, there's no turning back anymore.

[Maaleak]

Yeah I wanna be my own boss eventually:). I work really hard, my youtube is my main priority

[henryrodrigo]

You really have a gift for videos logs. Keep up the outstanding work!
