You're Not The Boss Of Me

Who hasn't wanted to fire their boss? Almost anyone who has had a job working for someone else, has some horror story about their boss. The truth of the matter is, most bosses didn't go to school to learn how to become bosses. They went to school to learn an area of expertise, obtained several degrees in that area, excelled and climbed up the corporate ladder, which invariable led them to be bosses. Along the way they never really learned how to manage their company's most valuable resource...other people. I believe that great bosses are born, not made. You either have the ability to manage people correctly, or you don't. You can learn, but those who teach the skills often don't practice it themselves. Perhaps you want to be your own boss because you want to make your own hours and not want to have to answer to a higher power (human power that is). There are tons of opportunities that will allow you to work from home as well as outside the home and I hope to explore all of them in this blog. When I was fired from my job one year ago, I began to blog as a way to vent my frustrations and use my energy for more positive things other than sulking about being fired. Blogging has lead me to things I've never imagined over the past year and I am still a novice. One place I found tons of information about blogging and about finding great work-at-home opportunities is at Wahm . This great site has tons of information about working at home and it's not just for moms. Everyone is welcome here to post and sort through all the various threads. The people are friendly and extremely helpful. I can't wait to pass on more information to you, but I'll do it a little at a time so as not to overwhelm you. In the meantime stop by the Wahm board and get acquainted with all the great people!
