Which boss is important?

The question is which boss is more important? For those who work for someone else that boss are important during the hours that one is scheduled to work at their job. Building and running ones' own business is the boss (you) just as important? If so then you being the boss must set certain hour(s) for the employee (you) to focus on your job. When one works for the other boss, one must focus on the job at hand. There is not a distraction or personal phone calls, just get the work done. The boss at ones' job will be looking for one to do his or her function on the job. That is expected!

So what does the boss (you) expect from the employee (you) when it is your own business? Should be the same. First, the boss (you) must set a work time be it one hour, two hours, etc. That time should be close to the same time every day or whatever time interval the boss (you) chose. During the work hour (s) that is set one must focus just on that mission. Just like the other boss, one must expect productive work doing that time frame. There should not be any personal phone calls, browsing the web (unless it is work related). Ones' success on ones' own job is just as important as the other boss's job. Try setting a certain time, for your business and during that time you can't entertain anything that is not job-related.
