Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

There are alternatives to replacing your hated boss with yourself.

The title of this post came to my attention recently. It was part of one of those “Give me your money and I will make your life so much better” ads. If you hate your boss, you can quit your job, start your own company and be your OWN boss.

My question: If you  hate your boss and become your boss, will you hate yourself?

Perhaps you won’t hate yourself. Perhaps you will learn that as the owner of your own company, you will find your customers to be your boss. Then will you hate your customers? Now you hate a large group of persons.

Let’s retreat a few steps and consider this one:

learn not to hate.

Now you won’t have all that trouble with starting a business, working really hard, borrowing money, hiring others, and so on. And you won’t have to tolerate being hated by yourself.

Just a thought.
