1. What are the downsides of being the boss?
Someone else is your boss- clients
While you call yourself a boss, your clients will be above you, especially when your income comes from them. You always have to make products or services that fit their needs and demands.
Your income is not assured
Most own bosses, especially usually experience financial anxiety. You have to work harder with dedicated time and effort to achieve more income. To be safer, extra effort and motivation can change the anxiety in the long run.
2. What are the upsides of the being the boss?
No thoughts of being fired
Most employers are always worried about being fired. But it is different for a boss who works without supervision, thus working with motivation knowing nobody can fire them. You can also work with your preferred time, style, and schedule- no worries of who will question you.
Making own decisions
Entrepreneurs or people in charge of their careers, including freelancing can make decisions about how they do the work. Being in control helps pursue your passion. You also practice decision-making skills, thus working more effectively.
3. What tips do you have for reducing the stress of being the boss?
Relate well with employees
Meditation
Meditation is a great technique to relax and calm a tensed mind. I recommend getting a meditation coach or download apps for guidance, including Headscape.
Change from guilty emotions to healthy
Bosses can manage stress by eliminating stressful duties or enhancing their ability to make stressful times successful. But I recommend the latter. I usually tell my clients to boost their self-care techniques, which help remain strong even when stressed. Therefore, ensure to sleep sufficiently at night and exercise regularly to keep your spirits high. Also, take a walk or breathe when you need to.
