Are You a Good Employee / Boss?

If you are a small business owner, chances are that you are both the boss and the employee (and the janitor, shipping clerk, marketing manager, delivery boy, etc). As the old saying goes, “it’s hard to see the forest in front of the trees”. So, as a small business owner, it is good to assess yourself at times, to make sure that you are getting the most out of yourself and that your business is getting the attention it deserves to succeed.  Ask yourself, as an employee am I satisfied with my work?  Would hire myself (or fire for that matter)? Where can I improve? Where am I lacking?

As the boss ask yourself – do I provide myself with the opportunities to succeed? Do I  contribute or do I goof off too much?  This question may seem strange but do ask yourself this.  As a business owner (boss) sometimes we get too caught up with our titles and our ‘business’ that we forget that we are also the most valuable employee we have, so how much will we do to ensure success?

Most of us know that being a small business owner is far from luxurious.  Vacations are dreams, days off aren’t possible, 9-5 work days are a joke.  No one cares as much about your business as you do and if you don’t – fire yourself and find a new job – working for someone else.

The Best Ways to Discover Music Through Twitter

Why on earth would I use Twitter to discover music when there are so many other ways to do that all over the internet?
