E mahi ana te tangata i raro i tōna ake rangatiratanga, ehara i te kaimahi i raro i tētahi atu. Mā te tangata mahikuhu e kimi āna ake mahi, āna ake kirimana, ā, ko ia te mea ka whiwhi i te utu, ko ia hoki ka kawe i ngā whakapaunga me ngā tūraru o tāna mahi.
Where a person works under their own autonomy, not as an employee of someone else. A self employed person finds their own work or contracts. They receive payment directly and carry the expenses and risks associated with their work.
mahi - work
kuhu - do on one's own

Mā te tangata mahikuhu e utu āna tāke tārewa i ia toru marama.
