The difference is, you don't have one boss... So your risk(s) are well diversified (or, at least better than if you're an employee).

In theory... yes you are diversified. Which why being a successful businessman is always more rewarding than being an employee. The keyword here is 'successful'. Diversifying your customer base to the point where you are not dependent on a few 'bosses' is really hard. Exciting yes. But hard.
