Before you ask, yes their a difference. Most Freelancers are self-employed because everything depends on them. Most Web Designers are freelancers. However, when you can take "self" out the equation, by George you might have a business! In this video, I'm going to actually talk about that grey area, that very space that lies between owning an actual business and being self-employed. What is this grey area?

Do you really have to have people under you to be declared/qualified to be called a boss? What if there was a system that allowed you to be your own boss without actually having people?
