Loading ...Being My Own Boss
This sounds ridiculous to say, because I really am my own boss. But, if I’m completely honest with myself, I have to admit that I sometimes let what I call my “superior level of customer service” push my working hours beyond the normal 9 to 5.
This translates into what is commonly referred to as “client kowtowing.” C’mon we all do it - and without fail there’s always a revision and an “extension on the deadline.” Ew, I love it when that happens! 
My solution thus far has been to inform the client that if a project has a quick turn or needs to be expedited, guess what? There’s a rush charge. However, we’ve all been in situation where we know that will go over like a whore in church. If that’s the case I simply turn down the work and let someone else stress over it. Part of being your own boss is having healthy boundaries! 
Keeping “working hours” between 9-5 is difficult, especially when working out of the house. You have to not only manage your client’s needs (Kowtowing) with your own life…
