We Always Work for Ourselves

We always work for ourselves, no matter who hands us our paycheck. If you go into work tomorrow knowing you ultimately work for yourself and everything you do is yours, you will have a very different day than if you spend the whole time thinking about what other people want and expect of you. People will react differently to you. You will own your day.

Even if you do work for yourself, know that you don’t just serve your client, or your kids…you serve yourself and the work itself. Your boundaries are yours, no one else’s. Your skills are yours. Your creativity is yours. Your responsibilities are yours. We need to get paid for our work, but your boss and your client will be happier to pay you for better, more confident work. Your kids will know boundaries and have a happier parent and you will feel empowered every day.
