What was your motivation to "go it alone"?

jenn so good to be home !!! it really goes fast..and you are building a business at the same time on your terms....
..when my kids were little i had limited hours, just open 3 days a week and some night hours out in the barn selling furniture and dh would be in with the sleeping kids...
im sure a job would totally stress me out!!! but work doesnt...

After I took an early retirement, I fell in love with a hobby and then began selling specialty craft supplies on the internet. I sleep late, stay up all night and sometimes work in my jammies.
