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.
