Does Running Your Own Business Mean You Have No Bosses?
One of the major reasons people choose to start their own businesses is a desire for independence. Many people are simply tired of working for others and constantly being under supervision. All of us have probably had the experience of a bad boss at one time or another, so it's understandable why some want to become self-employed in order to gain some independence.
In fact the bad boss scenario was exactly the reason I started my own company. I remember just a few years ago that I had to endure not one, but several bosses whose instructions often seemed to contradict one another. Endless meetings and reports consumed so much of my time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that my primary responsibilities were often neglected. I was caught in the middle and dreamed of the chance to be my own boss.
However, it's critically important to recognize that you always have to report to someone when you run your own business. Of course, things aren't exactly the same as having a typical job. You are your own supervisor and are responsible for running your own company, and this certainly brings with it a certain sense of independence and maybe even a feeling of liberation. Nonetheless, self-employed people can't simply ignore the wishes of others, especially when it comes to dealing with customers.
Your customers are,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in a sense, your bosses. You have to work diligently to gain their trust and their business, especially when you consider the competition. You have to give your customers a reason for choosing you, and this reason usually involves outstanding service and not just a difference in price.
Still,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], most customers are not as annoying as a bad boss, and they are certainly not directly in charge of you or your business affairs. There is always a large degree of independence when you become self-employed. However, you have to use your newfound freedom wisely,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and you often have to discipline yourself to do certain things even if you don't feel like it (and this can include listening to your customers and making them happy).
There are various advantages to starting and running a small business or a franchise, but you have to make sure it's right for you. Otherwise, you may be very disappointed if you think running your own business is all about doing things your own way without regard for your customers, lenders, or suppliers.
