I never understood that. Same with joining a union: why would you want to guarantee yourself a maximum salary?
Which is a little sad -- it means you used the government's own designation as a 'personal' company to thwart an indigination you never should have suffered on your 'own' as a sole proprietor -- but it is what it is! If you're willing to go out on your own, you need to know how the game is played and put the goddamn armor on.
The one putting people’s safety at risk is WAG, the dog walking company.
Best one I’ve worked with has been Callisto Media for writing my book.
Full Disclosure: I operate my own pet care company. When I walked for WAG I had to under my own name and lost all the protections of my own LLC. Example: I fell down the steps at a client’s home under my LLC...covered under Worker Compensation. If I fell while working for WAG, not covered. Dog bites ...which are frequently reported on the WAG platform are not covered. Don’t even get me started.
I am somewhat in a niche, academic editing and writing nonfiction books of my own. Editing manuscripts for nonnative English speakers turned out to be quite fun. There is something rewarding in taking a big pile of mess and turning it into a gem.
Thus, I am a bit protected. My college teaching experience is useful as well.
My goal is to maintain multiple income streams that are 100% portable.
Personally, I’m a freelance writer. Mostly articles, but have written several books for clients.
