Day 11 Of 1000: The Unique Difficulties of Self Employment While Being A Stay At Home Parent

In this UA-cam video, I share my journey of transitioning into full-time entrepreneurship as a videographer and stay-at-home dad. I talk about the real challenges that often go unspoken in the world of self-employment, without the sugarcoating you might hear from others. I discuss three key points:
1) The Weight of Failure with Responsibilities: I discuss how the added stress of providing for a family can be overwhelming, especially during slow months, and how it affects not only your life but also your loved ones.
2) Scheduling Work Around a Baby: I delve into the difficulties of managing work around childcare responsibilities, emphasizing the late nights and unexpected disruptions that come with it
. 3) Self-Directed Work: I talk about the freedom and responsibility of being your own boss, and how it can be a double-edged sword, requiring self-discipline and time management skills. My goal is not to discourage anyone but to provide a more realistic perspective of self-employment, especially for those with family obligations. I aim to help viewers understand what they might be getting into when pursuing their entrepreneurial dreams.
