How to Manage Yourself (as a business)
When you’re self employed, you don’t just manage a business. You don’t just manage your time. That’s for employees who have another person breathing down their neck. When nobody’s in charge, except for you, in order to keep a business alive, growing, and the money coming in, the thing you need to manage best is yourself.
The self employed have the most difficult management jobs out there. It’s very different from managing a store (because those managers have bosses who manage them), and its very different than being an employee and being responsible for managing a department, project, or your own time. There’s always someone to report to; there’s always someone to push you, and there’s always someone else to help manage you while you’re managing everything else.
