This week, I decided to excerpt from my e-book. ‘Cause I’m busy writing. I’m working on getting you a new story by next week. Work with me people.

You wanted professional freedom.

You told Corporate America and The Man (the one that lured you into becoming a drone, not the one you are committed to) to kiss your behind.

You took your Teeny Beanie Baby Frog home, along with all your other office decorations.

Your business plan is done. The licenses have been filed for. Your business cards are on the way.

You are officially self-employed.

And now you are scared shitless.

This is unchartered territory for you. You know how to work for someone else.  Working for your self is a different game all together.

OK, so this is really how things went down for me. I took the leap, hoping that the net would appear.

I thought the transition would be an easy one. Surely working for myself can’t be that hard. I like me. I like my leadership style, and the fair and impartial way that I handle my employees. I am the type of boss I always wanted to have.

I’m a big picture person who left the details to my employees.

But now, I don’t have employees.

Oh, wait. I am my employee.

That was definitely an adjustment period. I had a lot to learn.

And some of those lessons are laid out here for you.

To learn from.

To avoid.

To laugh at.

Whatever.
