In this brief monologue, the speaker reflects on transitioning from a long‑term role as second‑in‑command at various companies to launching their own business. They describe the feeling of finally being “the boss,” even if it’s just of themselves, and highlight the appeal of setting their own hours, earning income on their own terms, and incorporating more holidays. The central theme is the pursuit of greater work‑life balance that they anticipate will be easier to achieve as an independent entrepreneur.

Chapters

the first time I'm going into business all by myself where I've always worked for someone. Most companies I've worked at, I've been someone's second in charge, ran the company for the person that owns it, but not been the person that's the end or ultimate person. How's it feel to be the boss now? It's good. It's good even though I'm just the boss of myself, but it's good. It gives me the chance to continue to, you know, earn some dollars and earn it in the way that I'd like to, the hours I'd like to. We want to start doing a little bit more holidays as well, so trying to fit in work and holidays. Being my own boss, I think that'll be easier than working for someone else. So you want a little bit more work-life balance? Yes, definitely, definitely work-life balance.
