What do you dislike about Self-Employed?

What I dislike about being self-employed is that income can sometimes be unpredictable, and I have to handle everything myself, including finding clients, managing work, and meeting deadlines. It can also take time to build a steady client base and establish a reliable income. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
