BE YOUR BOSS

Few years back I met a dude of mine, we've been rolling for years. He is one of the guys around my world who have been my inspiration and motivation.

He is one guy that is sold out to achievements in life, he is a goal getter. He has been my pal for over eight years. A voracious reader and a deep thinker.
#Yomiprof is a blogger, an I.T personnel and a web designer. He is a master of the act that knows his onion. He is a computer wizard, you may want to ask what he studied in school. He studied business administration.

A blogger that is concern about #wealthcreation, and will not seize to talk about #beyourownboss. A smart guy who thought me that you can make money without going out of your house, you can make money without walking in the sun, you can make money legibly. He earns in dollars, and in pounds. I tell you by being his own boss.

For a while I have been away because I have been cooking this. What is the idea of being your own boss? This is a crucial subject to me and I have taken my time to ponder over it. If our interviews, aptitude tests are about testing people if they are effective bosses of themselves, or if there are machines to test if people have effectively govern themselves, I doubt if we will have governors.

When you hear be your own boss as #Yomiprof has introduce his daily followers on #blog what really comes to your mind? #Beyourownboss does not really mean starting up your own business, owning an establishment, you can be your own boss working in a company. You can be your own boss serving somebody. Dont get it wrong! I am not telling you to forget the place of "your boss" in your place of work.

We have too many people with tittles like the boss, the manager, the director, but they ain't managing nothing. We even have supervisors. Hey there! You may be a business owner and you even have one of such tittle holders that are receiving salary that is equal to their tittle and not their output. Look I don't want to employ a qualified man as my manager, but a quality man. I want to employ a man that will manage himself before he can manage my organization, I want to employ a man that has supervised himself before he can supervise my organization. In the real sense, organizations ought not to employ supervisors. But because we have too many folks that can't supervise themselves, that can't get things done on their own accord, without somebody telling them to, the organization have to employ the service of a supervisor.

If you are an employee reading this, I want you to know that your salary can be fatter than what you are receiving now if you choose to supervise yourself. Since you can't supervise yourself your employer have to employ a supervisor. That's by the way because even supervisors this days needs to be supervised for them to supervise, so you see where I am coming from.

Coming back to be your own boss. You can't boss anybody if you can't boss yourself. You can't manage nobody until you first manage yourself. You can't direct nobody until you first direct yourself. There are factors that will limit you from being your own boss. Lack of #initiative is the first. What's #initiative? The online dictionary defines initiative as the "ability to assess and initiate things independently." Or "the power or opportunity to act or take charge before others do." This is the missing link. The worse man to be is a man that must be told everything before he acts, that's not different from a zombie. You don't need to impress anybody, all you need to do is to be smart, look for the needs and meet them, look for the opportunities and utilise them, look for the questions and answer them. Help your boss solve his equations, look for the missing links, be calculative. An inventive, skillful and enterprising employee naturally becomes the favourite and the envy of others. You can't have job initiative without first having private or personal initiative. It all starts by first being #yourownboss.

#Wealthcreation is not a subject for people that don't have initiatives. They are awake when others are sleeping, they are working when others are playing. Many times you find #Yomiprof awake, finding answers to peoples questions, as it pertains to their phones, and their network issues. He has come to understand that a man that woke up rich did not sleep at night. Your boss at work is not your problem, your problem is lack of initiatives,  get back to the office and ask yourself, what do I needs to do differently from what my colleagues are doing? That is the foundation of initiative.

Friends, its natural to get irritated when you have to correct a person over a thing repeatedly. You can be your boss. If you are your boss, you don't need a boss to boss you. That's the foundation of #wealthcreation.

Have a blessed week.
