your're not the boss of me!
every 3 year old loves that phrase, just in case you ever wondered, so do 57 year olds. even more, frankly. we dont often get the chance to bark it out loud, but we should. we all want to. i think every human wants to, at every age - we just sort of deal with it differently some are polite. some are vocal, some sabotage and some just structure their life so its not even a concept anymore.
in spite of how much i type, i am actually very shy so vocal doesn't do it for me. i am too nurturing to sabotage so guess what option i am going for?
yet even here, i scream it. sweet thing though... no one is. i am. i have a post i haven't published in three days, no one is telling me i have to.
i get spasm sporadic on the social, no one tells me this is not enough or too much.
i go into and out of chat like a train with no schedule. no one gives me grief about going ghost or hanging out too much.
no one here is the boss of me. i am.
i go through the training some days like a bulldozer, sometimes like a snail. no one squawks, no one yells, no one - yet everyone is there, helping, chatting, encouraging.
we all go at our pace, our lives - we get to dictate where it turns and how. do we really grasp the level of freedom, and what that means? have you ever, and i mean ever been offered that - anywhere? i haven't. seriously, i haven't.
i didn't expect to make friends in here either. i thought business, focus, and get it done yes, i am, and yes i will. i didn't know though, that so many people would touch me, reach me, on so many levels.
i didn't know that i would bond, with parallel dreams and missions with such amazing people. i didnt even know you were out there.i didn't know you were here.
what i do know, now - is no one is the boss of me. no one is the boss of you, and together, with a little thought and foresight, if we want - our children, our grandchildren will not just understand the power of that phrase, but be able to live it
i am just glad that so many of you that i am just getting to know, are along that ride, its going to be one helluva a ride :)

Yep. You gotta love the autonomy of being a solopreneur. Sometimes the isolation can creep up on you, though. Good thing I have my dog. He forces me to get out of the house and get some fresh air and exercise a few times a day. Come to think of it - that darn dog IS the boss of me!

Hi Lori,
Thanks for this reminder. It's a powerful one! You're right, we have no boss here so let's not forget that.

i love the power of being in charge of my family's future - i understand the responsibility that comes with that. my obligation is to keep doing something to go forward, but the freedom in how i do that and when - it is just not offered in any other format. its rare, its precious, and for that - i am just silly grateful. independent, most precious word, ever :)
