I was thrilled with the idea of the freedom being a full-time entrepreneur would bring. Boy was I wrong!

I imagined sleeping in until 11 am, making brunch, working a little, taking a break, and then working a little more before knocking off early. I had it all figured out.

As it turns out, that kind of schedule won’t get you anywhere. Success requires supervision and direction. So guess what? I had to become the boss of me in the most literal sense.
