The Worst Boss Ever

Hands down working for yourself is the hardest position to be in.  Why?  Because your boss is the worst boss ever.

You may want to cuss at me for saying that but let me explain.  Your boss is a bad boss because he or she doesn’t know what he/she doesn’t know.

You may need to pay more attention to your financials, you may need to work on customer service, you may need to learn new procedures, you may need to fire some of the less than helpful staff you have.  But you may never find out what you really need.  The problem is that your thinking got you to this particular level of success and often it takes new thinking, new perspectives, larger viewpoints to get to the next level.

Unless the self employed physician reaches out for the larger perspective, they really have a job and not a business.  And it’s the worst job ever because there isn’t enough sharing of good ideas to get unstuck and get to the next level.
