I sometimes get so involved in what I do that at times, I will look up at the clock and have it read 2am! Time flies when you are on your own clock and doing what you enjoy doing. And by the way, I have 18 inches of snow this morning! Glad we work from home man. Thanks for the comment. LOL…I agree 100%.

One I can add: So what if there's 6 inches of snow and the roads are not safe: take the bus or walk. We have a business to run here! Also the whole idea of being somewhere based on someone else's schedule was a major irritant to me. I enjoy getting up when I am well rested (not when the alarm goes off) and working all night if I am pumped for a new project and not have to working about punching a clock the next day. Anyway, great blog! I spent more years working for someone else that I care to admit, but your list is pretty complete. One I can add:

That's why I started working for myself right out of univeristy. I actually started when I was 4 or 5, I made a kite out of cardboard, attached some sewing thread to it and sold it to a neighborhood kid for $3.62. It couldn't even fly... However, I did work for a short time for others. Here's my random list of things you avoid: 1. "You're not taking enough initiative." When just the week before I had... - Taken it upon my self to design a line of clothing and the head designer got "mad" cause I showed her up. - Spent 36 hours at the office, from Saturday - Sunday, to get a bunch of reports copied for a big Monday morning meeting (I was on the design staff--not even the janitors wanted to help). 2. "You'll never be the manager here!" Told to me by a 40-yr old manager for a shop I worked for when I was just 16. He was angry cause I was speaking French with some foreign customers and he felt "inferior". Geez, threatened by a 16-yr-old girl---laughable! 3. You don't have to put up with a boss who brings a dog to work everyday and makes it sit by you even though you're allergic. 4. You don't have to put up with a foreign boss who talks badly about everyone in the company to their relatives on the phone (in their native language), and finds out 3 months later that YOU speak their language. Anyway, being an entrepreneur has its challenges, but THANK YOU for reminding me some of the reasons why I'm doing it all :-) Blessings & abundance! Rhonda Oh my gosh was this ever funny…and so true!
