My work life has reached a point where I am struggling and it is looking likely I will have to leave my job. Due to worsening health and other issues, I don't think I can deal with highly demanding and stressful roles anymore, as it is putting too much strain on my health.
I have always wanted to run my own business as part of my stresses are sticking points within companies and politics that prevent you from getting on with the job.
I was curious if any of you run your own businesses and whether they provide a good income for you (don't have to give specifics as I appreciate that is private).
It's an idea I am mulling over, I just have worries about whether I will be able to cope and will my health let me down - so it is something I am going to have to think hard about.
We are a varied bunch, so I am interested to hear your stories for some inspiration. Why did you decide to take the leap into running your own business. Was it what you expected?
You want to run away from stressful office politics and you end up having to deal with stressful bureocracy. I had a limited company and got a letter saying that I need to provide annually certain information for their record. For the first 5-6 times when I attempted to do it Iended having meltdown. There were serious discrepancies between the letter and the actual working of the page. When I tried to ring their support for help to finish that stupid thing I ended being laughed at.
The clients will notice you are different and they will try to use you thinking you are dumb. If you suffer from the lack of order, having to deal with the laws, rules and regulations can make you want to go back to office politics.
