How to transition smoothly from being employed to self-employment

I am not saying a man/woman can't try. I am not saying that we should settle for less. I am not saying we don't deserve the best. Perfection, after all, is what we are all looking for. The intricacies of relationships are a wide purview of introspection. It is in relationships that we define ourselves. What turns you off? What makes you smile? What is your breakpoint? When do you say enough is enough? How do you know he is the one? Reciprocity is the lifeline of every relationship. Someone said: there is nothing like unconditional love- I agree. Unless you are masochistic (not really in that way), but unless you enjoy pain, your level of affection towards your significant other is largely determined by how far they are willing to go.

Still, self-employment is not free of challenges and disappointment, so it is important to be adequately prepared for the road ahead.
