When I was working (usually onsite) for large companies and financial institutions, even though I was a freelancer I felt the pain of the crushing rules and other corporate nonsene; the meetings, the policies and procedures, the clock watching, the bringing together of people who don't like each other in a confined space. When you work with smaller companies or micro businesses, they are more appreciative, you get a sense you are making a difference to their business and they will sing your praises to anyone and everyone, when was the last time a big corp client gave me a testimonial - never. My recipe for success and contentment, work for yourself as a solopreneur, work with other micro businesses whenever possible.

There are numerous surveys and reports with suggest that <a href="http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2006-04/esr-slh041106.php" rel="nofollow">self-employed people are happier</a> than employees. Take away the "security" of a regular job and it's no wonder that so many people are becoming self-employed. Thanks for reading.
