My Own Boss

My Own Boss

Guest post written by my buddy Aldo Mays

Being my own boss is something I always thought I might do but I had no idea how it would actually come to fruition. I never had a ton of extra cash and it took me decades to figure out what I was good at but look at me now – I own my own graphic T-shirt company and I’m actually turning a profit! I’ve had to learn as I go about stuff like bank card processing and human resources and tax laws – you don’t learn about any of that stuff when you don’t go to college (and I’m not so sure you learn it in college, either!) but I think I’m pulling my weight and starting to feel more confident about being a good businessperson. I like having total control over what I put out there and my staff and I try really hard to be a god boss because I know how important it is to keep morale high and people interested in working for you! That’s why I finally struck out on my own!
