A local newspaper columnist posed the question in last Sunday’s paper: “What’s your ideal boss?”
The answer popped into my head immediately: I’m the ideal boss for me! Call it my independent streak, chalk it up to stubbornness, or maybe just recognize that this is the truth for any entrepreneurial type…being my own boss is incredibly appealing and one of the reasons I love being a work at home mom with a home-based business.
The qualities of a good boss identified by this article included excitement about and knowledge of the business in question, and interest in plus the ability to motivate employees. The columnist concluded that aside from these basics, what makes a good boss depends largely on the individual employee.
Well, I’m definitely excited about my business and nobody knows it better than me. I’m very interested in me 
(my so-called employee) and I’m fairly good at motivating myself. Yep, I meet the criteria!
What do you think? What’s your ideal boss…and are you it?!

I have to agree with you, being my own boss is incredibly appealing. For me, it’s the reason that you get to handle things on your own without having to depend on other people whether it be the supervisor or other co worker.
And working at home may even expand your ability, like you are the boss behind the scene. You manage people without exactly showing yourself in person. With working from home it is necessary to learn to improve your online productivity so that you can make the most of your time and effort.
You seem like a very optimistic person. You will surely go a long way with this venture. You could get great encouragement and support by joining social media sites like Squidoo.
Thanks for your kind words, Aj. I do belong to social media sites and agree that they can be a great advantage to work at home moms who integrate internet marketing into what they do!
