It depends on what your goal is.
A maverick is an unorthodox individual who lives fairly independently.
The negative connotation associated with being a maverick is that you don't get along with groups but are usually fairly successful.
So, if you are okay being independent and unorthodox, great. If you are bothered by the connotation that you don't get along well with groups, then you likely are not okay with it.
