Why My Boss Is Such A Slave Driver
Category: Editorials, Free Articles
You know the type… they are never satisfied with “good
enough”, and no matter how hard you work, they always want
you to do more. The typical slave driver boss.
Man, I’d hate working for a guy like that. But the thing is,
I am sort of already working for a slave driver boss… me.
Yep, I’m a slave driver when it comes to getting things
done. Now, the good news is that I’m my own boss, but that
doesn’t mean I get to slack off… heck no!
Actually, I work harder for myself than I ever would for
someone else. And the fact is, you’ll have to as well when
you’re running your own martial arts school, if you want to
be successful.
Really, I don’t know a single successful martial arts school
owner who is lazy. From what I’ve seen, being hard working
is always a matter of pride among small business owners, and
successful martial arts school owners are no different.
(And let me tell you, don’t ever walk into a small business
and tell the owner, “Must be nice, getting to take it easy
while someone else does all the work.” You might get thrown
out, and asked to never come back.)
So why am I telling you all this? Because, I want you to
know that it IS rewarding to work for yourself, doing what
you love for a living… but I also want you to know it’s
hard work.
And this weekend, I could be lounging around at some friend
or neighbor’s Christmas shindig, toasting with eggnog and
singing Christmas carols while everyone stuffs their faces
on all those holiday goodies…
However, my “boss” says I have to be at the school, painting,
remodeling, and moving in new equipment so everything is
ready for the New Year’s rush when we open again after
Christmas -
And the truth is, I wouldn’t have it any other way. 
Until next time,
