What does being your own boss really mean—and is your business giving you the freedom you started it for?
In this episode of Become Your Own Boss, entrepreneur Monica Allen explores the real meaning of business ownership and entrepreneurship. After a customer suggests that customers are actually the boss, Monica considers where customer influence ends and an entrepreneur’s responsibility begins. She shares how owning a business has given her more control over her time, greater flexibility with her family, and choices that go far beyond income. But entrepreneurship doesn’t automatically create freedom. Without the right boundaries, systems, team, and business model, an entrepreneur can quickly trade one boss for dozens of new ones.
