Regulations are designed to keep some people out of a given field, and to herd people as customers into those providers. It is a discouraging system, in which very many people default to "finding a job." From there they are living a series of compromises, a narrow range of choices that in one way or another contribute to the hopes and dreams of someone else. So what? Doesn't a merchant do the same thing?
Work both unifies and creates. If you take a job, you are necessarily tasked with a narrow range of activities that serve the purposes of an employer. Whatever your range of capabilities, your employer does not want you to do your own thing, set your on schedule, and use your own judgment in meeting the needs of the customers. You employer wants you to know the product line and the policy manual, and stay within procedures. Even within a company like Apple or Google, your freedom is woefully constrained. Your creativity is compassed, and your ability to fully engage in the needs of those whom you encounter is narrowed to the product range of the business for which you work. I will say businesses pay employees a very high wage for so very little of what you have to offer.
With self-employment every fiber of every aspect of your life, your body, your mind, your spirit is taxed to the breaking point as you being all you have to bear on the problem your customer is experiencing. Self-employed, you unite with your customer and create what is needed. And self-employment is a process in which your work is the medium where you ever improve your ability to create things that ever more please customers. Change is constant as you get better at pleasing a wider range of people.
Self-improvement is a popular category in publishing, with whole sections of self-improvement books, quotes self improvement, improvement quotes, and so on. There is no better situation in which to pursue self-improvement than in self-employment given that all improvement is in relation to your ability to relate to others, and business is about unifying and creating in service to others.
