401 – Should You Start Your Own Business?
Manage episode 327787229 series 2391871
Since the pandemic lockdowns, a large number of people became self-employed or started their own businesses. Why? Because of job loss or a desire for more flexibility. Makes perfect sense. But while there are many benefits to being your own boss – you get a lot of independence – is it always the right decision for you? What are the pitfalls and when is it just better to get a new job rather than start your own business? Tune in to today’s discussion with Doug Hoyes and Ted Michalos as they share the ups and downs of being self-employed (including the potential for debt problems), practical advice and personal experience to help guide your decision.
