MANAGING EMPLOYEES (. . . WHEN YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE)
21 SIMPLE RULES FOR RUNNING YOUR OWN BUSINESS

"When you are your own boss you are also your own employee." With this first admonition on running a business by yourself, Aaron Bowers covers some of the philosophy and techniques of establishing and operating a sole proprietorship. He presents some of the many rules he admits he was "dumb enough to break," but learned the hard way as he went into business for himself after almost 30 years of working for other people.
