A couple of downsides of being the boss

While the thought of being your own boss can be exciting in reality there will be times when you will get frustrated and begin to have doubts that you did the right thing.

But as far as I know, this happens to most of us, so just stick with it work hard and be patient.

Here are a few things to remember.

• To build an online business is like any other business it takes time and lots of hard work, time, and determination.
• There is a quote that says Success is no accident, it is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all a love for what you are doing.

• As with any business, it does take time before you see any results from your business, for some, it is six months for me it was 12 months, so if you are thinking of starting an online business please do so before you retire,
