im the boss

thanks, actually im just started to be self employed, im into retail, ive resigned from my work last june 2011, good for yoy, your dad is your boss so he teaches you a lot,what field you are in?

@ashya_32 & stitchmabob , Actually I worked part time for my dad when I was just 16 years old, in he's shop, even up to the time when I was in college, I always find time to help him and there are times I would do my studies in he's store, "to be the boss" is always what he taught me even if your business is small at least you do not have to work for anybody. After I graduated, i worked for a short time in some multinational companies, pay was good but what dad taught me always echoed in my mind so I quit working and put up our own company where I partnered with my brother, so after both of us got married, we split up our small company so now I have my own and my brother has he's own. My father has long passed away but I still remember his words, so that is also what I teach my children " strive to be the boss"

Are you guys in your own family business/hoping to involve others? Thats really nice, getting to work with your relatives for your job.

The best part I like about our bosses is that they all are so friendly and they prefer to call all of them by their name. There is no 'sir' in our office whoever it may be. Again, non of the bosses would close their glass dors and we, who sitting outside can listen to their discussions, talks, tele-conversations, and many more. Which indirectly given a lot of knowledge, behavour, and really enriched the culture and life style also. So, I think you are a luck person to get everythig migrated to you and it is really an asset in your current areas of working. Regards

lol..your right ive learn a lot from my past bosses, it help me enhance my knowledge in the business, most of my boss were older than me so they sharing and parting their knowledge about life, work and success. im the boss at the same time utility too..

You are correct there boss yet you must have all the appreciation done by your personnel and it takes so much understanding to make even a slight mistake in your decision have a great impact of your being a good boss.Keep up the good work.

actually, right now i understand why some boss are temperimental or moody, i experience and figure it out, lot things in your mind, financial problem, customer, family, sometimes your thinking but no ideas coming out.

I have to agree totally with you. I have been self-employed for over 2 years now. I have done garments business, consulting job and freelance work for last year at the same time. However, most recently I decided to devote all my time to freelance work online. I enjoy the fact that I can do something using my skills and experience that I have gained over the years and earn some money working online.

yah, i believe you sales is pressure and stress, need to reach your quotas for your commission, dealing with different attitude of customer is kinds difficult but i rather talk with people than doing clerical works...

Oh my god, I met different kinds of people. I was in insurance sale and there are so many insurance companies too. It was hard to make agents under me. Even our company came up with I MLM type scheme for the agents but then they are saying that the company must be fraud to offer that much to agents..lol even given so opportunities, people end up yo such conclusions. It was hectic. Thank god I left it. good day to you.

thanks, but you know it takes lot of courage to leave my work and to be at home.. im just running a small retail business right now. you can try it to be your own, there a lots of business just needed small capital to be started..
