A father working for an employer couldn't attend his kids' school events or sports days. After becoming self-employed, he schedules his own time and shows up fully. Both speakers praise the small moments and flexibility that owning your own business makes possible.
He couldn't take them to the park. They were constantly asking, why can't dad be there? I felt terrible having to constantly say, sorry, but Dad's at work. He couldn't really afford to take days off. It was too hard to manage. Basically trying to get a day off just to take them to school or to be at sports day. So now, with him being his own boss, there's a lot more free time. He is able to attend sports days. He can actually book that into his calendar. That's his time to do as he feels with the kids. Gives me a bit more free time to help out, you know, with going to sports days with him. He's able to enjoy it a little bit more at nighttime. He can take them to training. He can spend all night there. He doesn't have to think about rushing off or, you know, getting there late and missing out and only being there for about 10 minutes. He can be there for the whole time.
I'll see you after school. Bye, boys. That's what I love about my morning things now is those little things that you don't get when you work for an employer. Got a.
