I have my own copywriting and marketing business so my job is pretty much what I make it, which is wonderful, but it's insanely hard work and there's no boss to pat me on the back and say well done

LOVE: The flexibility and complete control; the satisfaction of doing a really good job; answering to no jerk; seeing the business grow and thinking "I did that!"

HATE: Not being able to call in sick even if I'm dying; sliding specs from fickle clients; having to drop my personal life to do an emergency assignment; sitting up all night writing for a 9am deadline; knowing that the ultimate success or failure of a business is entirely on my shoulders.

But, I wouldn't swap it for the world.
