Not necessarily but I guess that depends on what kind of person you are.

For me, self-employment means the same amount work, done in much more time (it's so easy to procrastinate at home), having more bosses (thought I'll get rid of them but guess what happened: multiple bosses), having no co-workers (being alone s.cks), staying at the same place all day causes stress, anxiety, even depression sometimes (you work at home, then you "go" home, sleep at home, you have no place to go). Then you might get into financial troubles (procrastination -> late delivery -> late payments), starting to prioritize jobs on urgency, not importance (whichever pays earlier gets done first). That's what happened to me.

Then months and years go by and you see that you're still in the same position and there's no way out but building a B quadrant business. Same as if you were an employee. What's the point in getting into self-employment then? To quickly leave the full time job you hate, I know, I had that feeling too.

I fully agree with Kiyosaki who says the S quadrant is the most hardest quadrant to be in and it generates the less income. Better stay an employee and build a B quadrant business. Maybe switch to a part time job instead of a full-time one.

Being self-employed was the hardest 3 years of my life.
