| 0:00.0 | Oh yes, hello people of Podcastland, welcome back to Modern Wisdom, it is Business Principles |
| 0:06.6 | 102. Fast becoming my favourite series that we've ever done, don't tell life hacks, |
| 0:13.1 | and also landed in the top 50 worldwide on Apple Podcast chart last time we released the |
| 0:17.8 | first one. So got big hopes for this, and today we are talking about should I go and |
| 0:24.8 | work for myself. It's a question that we get asked all the time, all of us are self-employed, |
| 0:30.2 | and you get sang this tale man, you hear the story, the Gary V. Hustle and Grind, like go and get |
| 0:38.4 | after it, make your own company, it's never been easier, the best time to start was 10 years ago, |
| 0:43.6 | the second best time is now, all that sort of stuff, it's a very pervasive narrative that's |
| 0:50.4 | going through the world, you can start your own business and be successful, but should you? |
| 0:56.8 | That's the question that we go through today, so expect to hear our opinions on the debate |
| 1:02.9 | between self-employment and typical employment. We do a really cool mental experiment that I've |
| 1:08.8 | done with a number of friends that you might be able to do as well, which should illuminate whether |
| 1:13.6 | or not it's time for you to ditch your job and go make it on your own. You'll also get to hear |
| 1:19.4 | the reasons why Junior New Siff left high-paying graduate schemes to go and become men who |
| 1:24.1 | sell fitness on the internet. So yes, I really hope that this helps a lot of you. I hate the idea of |
| 1:30.5 | people loathing the thing that they spend eight hours a day doing, so if you have any further |
| 1:36.1 | questions or you want some more advice, you know where we are, get in the comments on YouTube or |
| 1:39.7 | message me wherever you follow me. Also, this episode is brought to you by Soulrite, it's a fantastic, |
| 1:45.2 | so-ass manipulation tool. All that you have to do is leave Modern Wisdom Review wherever you |
| 1:49.6 | are listening, whether that be iTunes, Stitcher or elsewhere, and I'll choose two people to win a |
| 1:55.2 | free Soulrite. And also, if you've already left us a review, you will be automatically entered, |
| 2:00.0 | but for now, it is Business Principles time. Let's go. |
