Are you the boss?

Here’s a question for you. If you’re self-employed, do you think you don’t have a boss or are you the boss?

The difference is quite important. Not having a boss means you work when you want doesn’t it? It means you set the agenda, there’s no-one to tell you what to do and what not to do.

Does that suit your customers? Do you turn up for work when you feel like it or when your customers expect you to be there? Do you deliver your work when you get the time (and invent an excuse as to why it’s late) or do you deliver on time or even early?

I came across this video today, via chrisbrogan.com. The subject matter isn’t important, but have a look, the message is.

Clever isn’t it? There’s no more slouching for us now. We’ve got to deliver.

If you want to be bought by Amazon (or anyone else for that matter), get up early, be on time and BE THE BOSS. As Pete Townshend said (yes, in a different context), “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss”.
