5 Brutal Truths About Working for Yourself (That No One Tells You)

EP1 What Working For Yourself Really Means

Everyone talks about the freedom of working for yourself but fewer people talk about the reality.

In this first episode, I set the tone for the podcast by breaking down what “working for yourself” actually looks like after years of doing it. No hype, no shortcuts just real experiences, real trade-offs, and honest expectations.

In this episode, I cover:

  • What I thought “working for yourself” would mean before I started
  • What it actually feels like day-to-day
  • Freedom vs. responsibility, with real-world examples
  • Why working for yourself isn’t easier just different
  • Who this lifestyle is not for
  • Who will benefit most from listening to this podcast

If you’re considering self-employment, already in it, or wondering whether it’s really for you, this episode will help you see the full picture—before you commit.
