The primary difference, for me at least, is that I have far greater flexibility. I can work when I have time, can take time out for sick family or travel, and I can work if I am awake in the middle of the night. None of those are feasible with brick and mortar businesses.
Honestly, neither option is better for everyone. There are people who thrive on being their own bosses and truly grasp the vision of what SFI has to offer. For other people, SFI may be a struggle because they need the routine of going into an office or store every day. Knowing what motivates a person will usually help determine where that person will be most successful.
If SFI comes easily to you, wonderful! If it is a bit more of a struggle to log in every day and do the work, there are still many options available to you.
If you need an office environment, convert your dining table or an usused room into an office. Sometimes that alone helps to create greater productivity.
If you find yourself needing to be out, about, and active, perhaps you should focus on recruiting ECAs. Visit local small businesses and talk about what SFI has to offer.
In the end, SFI can be anything you want it to be.
