How to be Your Own Boss

I hate going to work. I hate what I do. I have to get the paycheck, though. I want to be my own boss. I want to do that thing that keeps me up at night thinking about.

Do you see all the boss people out there and wish you were one of them? On National Boss’s Day, I hope you have the best boss in the world.

There’s a couple different directions that I wanted to take this blog:

#1: Celebrating how in love with and how awesome my boss is. (My Forever is my boss on the farm.) But, since we just spent all last week gushing about how in love we are on our anniversary week, I thought you might be sick of hearing how great he is.

Another option:

#2: Have a whole blog dedicated to how frustrating and how big of a jerk my boss is a lot of the time. While quite enticing to write on this topic, it’s not going to do anybody any good.

So moving on…

#3: Give you some idea of how you can be your own boss and then #1 &#2 mean nothing because you are the boss.

Friends, I wish and hope that each and every one of you reach for the life that you desire. Our world needs you to be the you that you are supposed to be, not what the world demands from you.

If you want to have an 8-5 job at somebody else’s company, more power to you.

If you want to stay at home with your babies, more power to you.

If you want to travel the world with your career, more power to you.

If you want to join an MLM, more power to you.

If you want to open your own business and employ hundreds of people, more power to you.

It doesn’t matter what the dream is. It matters that you go after it. Nobody is going to care as much about your dream as you do! NOBODY. While accountability partners are awesome and I’m so thankful for them, there isn’t another soul in this entire world that’s going to feel the same way as you do about your passion.

That means that it’s going to have to be you setting your alarm to get out of bed to go get it. That means it’s going to have to be you that makes the time to get the work done. That means it’s going to have to be you that does the research and puts in the time. That means it’s going to have to be you that gets up and dusts yourself off after being rejected by the 562nd person. That means that you have to believe in your dream enough for you to do everything to make it happen.

Being your own boss isn’t the fairytale, perfect life people on social media makes it out to be. It takes a ton of time and work that isn’t shown. Rachel Hollis and Hollis Co. is blowing up the world right now. Do you know how much time she spends in the air traveling to do all these speaking events? Do you know how many hours she puts in away from her kids to make all these events happen? If that’s what you want in your life, go get it! But friend YOU, yes YOU, have to put in the work and not quit when nobody else believes in you.

If you are considering starting your own thing, find a mentor. I’d be happy to talk to anyone that needs help starting a website, a blog, selling products, etc. I’m not an expert by any means, but I’ve figured some stuff out. I’m more than willing to give the next one in line a boost up! Are you?
