Why I Choose To Be My Own Boss!!!
Over the years I have tried many businesses and have failed terribly. I have come to realize that I was young and really never took the time to learn the right way. I also have to say some the the mentors I had I really didn’t know how to ask the right questions or honestly, ask them to slow down. I just went with the flow and it made me look dumb and I felt overwhelmed. After starting my own business Partner With Anthony I have learned that I can do this business and be great at it. The training was allowed me to work at my own pace and ask the questions I needed. The community group is also very helpful and I know for fact if I was stuck I could always reach out to someone for advice.
When I worked for others I had a problem with authority. Yes, for me being a Veteran I had a problem with someone telling me what to do now. Civilians are different than military, the respect I have received in the military was hard for me to adjust to in the civilian world. There were many times I have walked away from jobs because of not being treated with respect. That’s when I came to the conclusion that I have to be my own boss and work for myself. I didn’t think I would like working from home today, but I love it. I have been able to set my own hours, prioritize my daily tasks, and network with many people in my current field.
What I have learned the most about all of this, is that I stopped listening to people judge me. I would hear non-supports always talk about why I shouldn’t do my own thing. How much it’s going to cost? Question after question, then I had to do a reality check and ask myself, Do I really care what others think? My answer was no! Every since I took the first step to work for myself I have had the freedom to help others more and give advice to motivate others to do the same.
