Who owns your time? Being entirely responsible for your own billable hours is probably the heftiest double-edged sword of self employment. But when it starts to feel heavy, I think about this: A decade ago, I was a salaried employee at an editorial agency. The expectation was that 7.5 hours of every single day be billable to a client. If you happened to empty your queue, you had two choices: 1) Lie and pad your time; 2) Turn yourself in and let a manager invent a task that justified the agency covering that time (typically you would be asked to clean the break room, I shit you not). The micromanagement was so intense, one April Fool's I distributed a prank memo informing my department they would have to start logging their bathroom breaks. It wasn't taken for a joke. Add in the fact that we were all painfully aware that the client was being charged 5-6x more than we were being paid for an hour of our time, and it's no wonder that the atmosphere was so thick with ennui. Am I working harder for myself than any agency job I've ever had? Of course -- and not just because I like my boss. Self employment just IS more work. It's also: -Freedom to have complete transparency about rates with clients and to manage those relationships according to my own ethics -The ability to work according to my body's natural rhythms -Work/life balance -Not having to clean expired yogurts out of the break room fridge because I'm running ahead of schedule

Worrying, isn't it...     Taking that jump that you have been considering. A few years ago, I would never consider making a big jump and going with what I knew was the option I always took.   Until I started working at Taylor Rose MW. Making the jump from traditional employment to consultancy can seem scary at first glance. HOWEVER, seeing individuals feeling stuck within traditional employment (even if they do have a partner title) make the jump into consultancy has simply been amazing to see.   - Having the ability to schedule their own day - Choosing the days and hours they work in the week - Having the time to spend with YOUR clients and build a strong relationship - Controlling the volume of your caseload - Work from home while having the option to use one of our offices - Having time to spend with your family - Being able to go on holiday when you like   Now they have FULL control. A work life balance. No office politics'.   BUT.   It didn't happen overnight. They all had the same worries as you.   BUT.   They made the jump and created their own identity, and brand.   Starting anything new isn't going to be 100% straight away, but taking the first step into a new world of controlling your journey is the BIGGEST, All the others will fall into place, and before you know it, you will have all of the things listed above.   Let's turn your worries into hunger. Let's celebrate the small victories along the way.   #TaylorRoseMW #Consultancy #Law #Opportunties #TakeThePlunge #DoIt #SolictorsUK #UKLAW
