Have not worked for a boss since 1983. Self employment suits me better. Have done building, importing, farming, house renovation, manufacturing and online retail. You need to understand there will be problems and enjoy solving them. Currently still do some small scale manufacturing and online retail. Have considered doing a coffee green beans and roasted beans business with online sales accepting Bitcoin payment only only as there's currently nobody in New Zealand that I know off offering this. But in the neoliberal FIRE economy that still dominates the crony capitalist western economies (and has done since the 1980s) by far the most profitable of my businesses has been real estate. Have made far more for far less work flipping properties than any other business, and in New Zealand property flipping is essentially/effectively exempt from CGT. So have made more (tax free) profits via real estate than any actual productive work providing goods and services- just shows how wrong our economic and monetary/financial system incentives and rewards are. Do not see the future as so bright however as the fiat system has been leveraged to the max and the price of fiat money/debt cannot logically keep declining as it did from mid 1980s till about 2023.
