Are you Self Employed or Own a Business?

[shilala]

I do all sorts of stuff to make munneh.
I'd just work for myself all the time but my boss sucks and I get lazy.

My wife and I own two Ltd companies.

One is a bookkeeping, property management, accounting software support company which employs five full time staff.

The other is a leasing company which owns 3 office buildings and 10 residential rental properties.

And we live in arctic Canada where everything needs to be flown in or come by ship and temp regularly hits -60-80 in the dead of winter.

As a result I read more and collect more cigars than I smoke unfortunately.

I'm a self-employed technology consultant, aka a 1099 employee in US IRS speak. Mostly, I am a testifying expert in patent lawsuits.

I'm considering applying for a regular gig, tho, which will allow my consulting income to basically be for play.

I want to be self employed

I find that when one is self employed that you pretty much have an idiot for a boss. At least that is my experience.

Not true. My boss is a genius.
