mode to get the job done.
I try to make this clear to anyone I see who
wants to work for himself/herself.

Thanks, unpinkpanther!
That's a great point I had forgotten...
It does take a completely different mindset!
I think it relates to what Gordon said earlier (in a different thread), that
many people who want "business coaching," actually want a "surrogate boss"...
They're very uncomfortable with being the "boss" themselves (even if their only employee is himself or herself)!
I find that I often give better advice to other people, than I apply to myself...
I finally seem to have "solved" that by
looking at my "future" self... I think when I do that, I'm a lot more objective...
It may sound crazy, but I guess the "proof is in the pudding" (but it seems to be working so far)...
Best wishes,
