I worked for a boss who loved young girls. Sure, the boss was cute, but he was MARRIED and I don’t go there. He loved this one girl who worked for him, her picture was hanging on the WALL of his office (WTF)? She never lifted a finger really and fretted over every chipped nail and would cry if she lost a fake fingernail?! So after this experience, I realized if I am my own boss, I would hire people because they were QUALIFIED for the job and I never wanted to get all the DIRTY work again because I wasn’t as purdy as the other broad, lol! I’d make my work enviroment fair and the only person I’d LOVE is the one I married or my boyfriend! Because love and work don’t mix!

How I did it: Before I became my own boss I was researching several career oppourtunities and noticed only one that will encourage me to place my faith first, family second and my career third, so I paid my $100.00 investment and signed up online with my Star Recruiter and became an Independent Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay Cosmetics.

Being your own boss has many advantages and disadvantages:
1. You answer only to yourself - There isn’t someone telling you what to do or when to do it. You can sleep all day long if you want to, or just don’t feel like working that day. If you do double the work the next day, so be it. You do it for yourself, you chose to do so yourself, not because you were TOLD to do so.
2. Getting all the credit / benefit – This is probably the second reason people want to work for themselves. You get all the credit / benefit. You know that your hard work will be appreciated, because you do that for yourself, you will get all the benefits from your work. But if you are your own boss, there is no slacking off. There is no one to cover for you
3. Reward and motivation – You are your own boss, so you get the whole reward for your work and not just some paycheck. I don’t know about other people but for me this is the biggest motivation I can get. You work hard, do a good job and you are rewarded for it. But then again if you do nothing you get nothing. If you haven’t lifted a finger, you get nothing. There isn’t a paycheck at the end of the month. After all you reap what you saw.
For me the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. What about you, do you thing you have what it takes to be your own boss, or do you prefer the safety of your day job?

ktg1only Trying to Get Refocused
after a year of trying to find a new job, I’ve decided, it would be worth it to me to just work the business i’ve started last summer. and that’s exactly what i’m doing. we are in the final stages of drafting, and soon will be meeting with prospective investors for our project.
I’m not the manager assistant any more, want to be my own boss, started my own online-store in 2008. Feel exciting,but also stressful.
peachies is crying her eyes out!
I am tired of working for someone who just don’t care about you or anyone else.
The one thing I like best is being your own boss. Report to yourself and no one else. Take your own responsibilities, good or bad. Blame no one else but yourself. Claim credit for your success!

I am so tired of coming into my job everyday. It is so boring and annoying. I hate it. I can’t stand half the people I work with they just get on my nerves and always do stupid things. When I got hired I was a graphic designer, now I rarely get to do any of that stuff. It irritates me so much. I didn’t take this job so that I could pick up after everyone in my office all day. ARGH!!!!
