I'm about to become self employed, And I've been super nervous about it, I'm so thankful for the Steemit Community for all your love and support!
I've noticed there are a lot of freelancers, Business owners and other self employed people on here!
Are self employed people the majority here?
WHAT DO YOU STEEMIT PEOPLE DO FOR A LIVING?
Are you living the dream? Doing what you want to do ? Or are you trapped somewhere less enjoyable?
If you could have any job in the world what would it be?
Me personally!
I want to travel and do art, And spend lots of time near the ocean. Even if it means the manual labor of trying to help clean up the ocean, It makes me really sad that there is so much garbage from humans in it.
I want to see every art museum in the world! A crazy goal but it's true. If I could some how get paid to do all this stuff I would want to be! But I shouldn't complain because I'm about to be self employed as an artist :)
I have a few companies, one is a SaaS platform for Press Releases called Press Advantage - a done for you press release service.
I also own a marketing company called Adventure Marketing.
I have a few other companies, and am a shareholder of Cryptonomex.
Please to meet you, and happy to encourage you to take the PLUNGE!
I'm a web developer now and crypto trader and I'm working at home for myself. But before I have changed several different jobs for different reasons. I think that the most important thing is to determine honestly who you are and what you're for in this world. and then just try to do your best.
That sounds really interesting! I love that! People need to discover who they are in the world as soon as possible :)
I'm a commercial filmmaker. I love being self employed, but it's stressful and I'd love to try something different in a few years!
That sounds so cool! What do you do in your "job" exactly?
Self employment does seem really stressful!
What kinds of new things would you try?
Basically, the job is to make films for companies and advertising agencies. They might want to sell a product, or make a short documentary about a project, event etc. So, my job is to oversee the process, etc. It's stressful because there are months I go without income! And dealing with very difficult clients, agencies etc. But then there will be a month where I make a lot of money. So I guess overall it kind of adds up.
I have no idea! I hope to find something easy and comfortable even if it's not much money.
That sounds really cool! But tough too :(
I bet you have to be really good at budgeting your month to month income!
I learned that the hard way! Haha.
What kind of artist are you? What I do for a living is work with computers and servers. Boring to a averages person. I mostly hang out with friends and family and do a lot of out doors stuff. And no I don't do Pokemon go, haven't installed the app yet. Trying to see how long I can go without installing it. Extreme sports is my passion. Skydiving to riding mountain bikes down cliffs.
A fine artist/illustrator,
I do coloring books at the moment and T shirt designs.
Wow that is amazing that you do those extreme sports! Were you scared at first? I see those people when I hike and I admire them, But I'm also very scared to do it myself.
Websites :)
Awesome!! Is that area still doing well? I was listening to a podcast recently and heard that VR could eventually take over! Is Vr Something that you are interested in?
I work for a tiny corporation that I own. It's been an interesting ride! I'm doing back ends for social networks, connecting them to databases. But I do sometimes need digital art; maybe we'll work together sometime! :-)
P.S. Guess what Amazon delivered today!!!! Hint: you made it! :) I will post a pic somewhere soon. :D
